Definition of Confidential Information
Specify categories and examples (claims files, underwriting models, medical records) and expressly exclude public or independently developed information to avoid ambiguity.
A written Insurance Confidentiality Agreement creates clear duties and limits on disclosure, helps protect trade secrets and privileged claims data, and documents consent for necessary information sharing. It reduces litigation risk by defining remedies, preserves regulatory compliance where protected data is involved, and supports controlled access during underwriting or claim resolution.
Each signer should confirm authority to bind their organization and follow any internal approval or legal review procedures before execution.
Specify categories and examples (claims files, underwriting models, medical records) and expressly exclude public or independently developed information to avoid ambiguity.
Limit how recipients may use the information (e.g., underwriting, claims handling) and prohibit secondary uses like marketing or resale without written consent.
Require recipient to limit disclosure to employees or contractors on a need-to-know basis and to obtain equivalent confidentiality agreements when subcontracting work.
Set retention windows, secure storage requirements, and procedures for return or certified destruction at termination or upon written request.
Address compelled disclosure, regulatory reporting, law enforcement requests, and carve-outs for ESIGN-consented electronic exchanges.
Define injunctive relief, damages, indemnification obligations, and, where appropriate, limitations on liability or liquidated damages.
Ensure the provider offers retention, encryption, and a reliable audit trail to meet legal and regulatory obligations when processing protected information.
