NDA & Confidentiality Policy

1. Overview & Commitment

At CliEvi, confidentiality is not a formality — it is fundamental to the integrity of clinical and evidence-based research. Our clients entrust us with sensitive datasets, unpublished study findings, competitive health economic models, and proprietary analytical frameworks. We treat this trust with the utmost seriousness.

This policy describes how CliEvi defines, handles, and protects confidential information in all client engagements. Clients who require a formal signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) are encouraged to contact us before or at project initiation.

2. Definition of Confidential Information

"Confidential Information" means any non-public information disclosed by either party in connection with a project, including:

• Patient-level and de-identified health datasets
• Unpublished research findings, interim results, or study protocols
• Health economic models, cost-effectiveness analyses, and HEOR outputs
• Drug development pipelines, clinical trial designs, and regulatory strategy
• Business strategies, pricing, and client lists
• Software, code, algorithms, and analytical methodologies shared under the engagement
• Any information marked "Confidential" or that a reasonable party would understand to be confidential given the context

3. What Is Not Confidential

The following is not subject to confidentiality obligations:

• Information that was already in the public domain at the time of disclosure
• Information that becomes public through no fault of the receiving party
• Information independently developed by CliEvi without use of the client's confidential information
• Information received from a third party who is lawfully entitled to disclose it

4. Our Obligations

CliEvi commits to:

• Using confidential information solely for the purposes of the agreed project scope
• Limiting access to confidential information to team members who have a need-to-know
• Not disclosing any confidential information to third parties without prior written consent
• Implementing technical and organizational safeguards to prevent unauthorized access
• Promptly notifying the client of any suspected or actual unauthorized disclosure

5. Client Obligations

Clients engaging CliEvi agree to:

• Ensure that all data shared has been obtained lawfully and with appropriate regulatory clearances
• Not share CliEvi's proprietary methodologies or analytical frameworks with third parties without consent
• Maintain appropriate security when transmitting data to CliEvi

6. Team Member Confidentiality

Every individual at CliEvi — whether full-time, part-time, or contracted — is bound by a confidentiality agreement prior to accessing any client project. Sub-contractors engaged for specialist analytical tasks are subject to equivalent obligations and are vetted for compliance.

7. Use of Confidential Information

Confidential information is used exclusively to fulfill the agreed project deliverables. It is never:

• Used for CliEvi's own research or competitive purposes
• Shared with other clients or third parties
• Published, presented, or referenced in any public forum without explicit written consent

8. Data Return & Destruction

Upon project completion or termination, CliEvi will, at the client's direction:

• Return all client-provided datasets and materials in the agreed format, or
• Securely destroy/delete all copies in accordance with data destruction standards

A written confirmation of destruction can be provided upon request.

9. Duration

Confidentiality obligations remain in effect for a minimum of five (5) years following project completion, or indefinitely for trade secrets and patient-level health data, whichever is longer. Specific durations may be negotiated in project-specific NDAs.

10. Legal Disclosures

In the rare event that CliEvi is legally compelled to disclose confidential information (e.g., by court order or regulatory authority), we will provide the client with prompt written notice (where legally permitted) to allow them to seek a protective order or other remedy.

11. Signed NDA Agreements

Clients requiring a formal, bilaterally-signed NDA before project commencement are encouraged to contact us. CliEvi maintains a standard mutual NDA template aligned with international best practices, and we are open to reviewing client-provided templates. We aim to execute NDAs within 3–5 business days.
