- Permitted Uses and Disclosures.
- Use and Disclosure. Supplier may use or disclose PHI or other Personal Information only to provide services to Donnelley Financial under the Agreement. Supplier is not authorized to use or further disclose PHI in a manner that would violate the Privacy Rule if done by a Covered Entity Client or by Donnelley Financial on behalf of a Covered Entity Client. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Specifications, Supplier may use and disclose PHI or other Personal Information for the proper management and administration of the Supplier or to carry out the legal responsibilities of the Supplier, provided that any such disclosures are either Required By Law or Supplier obtains reasonable assurances from the recipient of such information that the information will be held confidentially and used or further disclosed only as required by law or for the purpose for which it was disclosed to the recipient and the recipient will notify Supplier of any instances of which the recipient is aware in which the confidentiality of the information has been breached. Supplier may not use or disclose PHI or other Personal Information other than as permitted or required by these Specifications or as Required by Law.
- Safeguards. At any and all times during which Supplier is processing PHI or other Personal Information, or otherwise having access to such PHI or other Personal Information, it will develop, implement and maintain safeguards, documented in writing, to prevent the use or disclosure of PHI or other Personal Information other than as provided by the Privacy Rule and these Specifications, and will comply, where applicable, with the Security Rule with regard to Electronic PHI. Such safeguards shall include, but not be limited to, provisions to: (i) ensure the security and confidentiality of PHI and other Personal Information; (ii) protect against the use or disclosure of PHI or other Personal Information other than as provided for in these Specifications, (iii) protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of PHI or other Personal Information; (iv) protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Electronic PHI or other electronic Personal Information that it receives, maintains or transmits on behalf of Donnelley Financial, and (v) protect against unauthorized access to or use of PHI or other Personal Information. Supplier shall comply with Mass. 201 CMR 17.03 and 17.04, as such regulations are amended from time to time.
- Suppliers and Agents. Supplier shall ensure that any agent, including a subcontractor, to whom it provides PHI or other Personal Information received from, or created or received by Supplier on behalf of, Donnelley Financial agrees, in writing, to the same restrictions and conditions that apply through these Specifications to Supplier with respect to such information.
- Internal Practices. Supplier agrees to make its internal practices, books, and records, including policies and procedures, relating to the use and disclosure of PHI and Personal Information received from, or created or received by Supplier on behalf of, Donnelley Financial available to Donnelley Financial, its client(s) and government agencies for purposes of determining compliance with a Privacy Law.

In the event any individual requests access to PHI or Personal Information directly from Supplier, the Supplier shall, within ten (10) business days, forward such request to Donnelley Financial. As between Donnelley Financial and Supplier, Donnelley Financial shall be responsible for determining whether to deny access to the PHI or Personal Information and Supplier shall comply with such determinations. If Supplier maintains any PHI in a Designated Record Set electronically, and Donnelley Financial requests an electronic copy of such PHI, Supplier will provide an electronic copy in the form and format requested by Donnelley Financial, if feasible. If it is infeasible for Supplier to provide an electronic copy in the form and format requested by Donnelley Financial, Supplier will provide a readable electronic copy of such PHI in a form and format as agreed by Supplier and Donnelley Financial.
- Amendments. Supplier agrees to make any amendment to PHI or Personal Information in a Designated Record Set, as requested by the client or Donnelley Financial.
- Carrying Out Covered Entity Client Obligations. To the extent Supplier is to carry out (A) a Covered Entity Client’s obligations under the Privacy Rule; or (b) Donnelley Financial’s obligations on behalf of a Covered Entity Client under the Privacy Rule, Supplier will comply with the requirements of the Privacy Rule that apply to the Covered Entity Client in the performance of such obligations.

Where any business associate agreement requires Donnelley Financial to take action within a certain time frame and such action would require Supplier to notify or respond to Donnelley Financial in order for Donnelley Financial to fulfill its obligations to any Covered Entity Client, Supplier shall promptly notify or respond to Donnelley Financial to enable Donnelley Financial to meet its obligations.
