Upon signing of the contract by all parties, terms of the contract become available to the public, pursuant to the provisions of the Kentucky Revised Statutes. The contractor shall have an appropriate agreement with its subcontractors extending these confidentiality requirements to all subcontractors' employees.
The contractor shall comply with the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 and instruct its employees to use the same degree of care as it uses with its own data to keep confidential information concerning client data, the business of the University, its financial affairs, its relations with its citizens and its employees, as well as any other information which may be specifically classified as confidential by the University in writing to the contractor. All Federal and State Regulations and Statutes related to confidentiality shall be applicable to the contractor.
