In addition, Recipient, including its affiliates, will not disclose such Customer/Consumer Information to any third party unless the Recipient obtains the prior written consent of Discloser, except as otherwise required by law.

Definition. “Confidential Information” means any information: (a) designated in writing by either Party as confidential; or (b) if orally disclosed, identified at the time of disclosure as confidential and acknowledged by both parties as such; or (c) that should reasonably be understood to be of a confidential nature. “Confidential Information” does not include any information which the receiving Party can show, by documentary evidence: (a) has become, through no act or fault of the receiving Party, publicly known; (b) is received by the recipient from a third party without a restriction on disclosure or use; or (c) is independently developed by the receiving Party without reference to or use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.
6.3. Confidentiality Obligations. Each Party shall treat as confidential all Confidential Information of the other Party and, shall not use such Confidential Information, except as set forth herein. Each Party shall implement reasonable procedures to prohibit the disclosure, duplication, misuse or removal of the other Party’s Confidential Information. Each Party shall disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to employees on a need to know basis only and shall not disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to any third party without such Party’s prior written consent. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Parties shall use at least the same procedures and degree of care which it uses to prevent the disclosure of its own confidential information of like importance to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information disclosed to it by the other Party under this Agreement, but in no event less than reasonable care under the circumstances.
