CONFIDENTIALITY POLICY
American Cancer Society
Florida Division, Inc.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT
All staff and volunteers must recognize and protect the confidentiality of all data concerning the American Cancer
Society business operations, including but not limited to constituent information, personal information, personnel
information, donor/volunteer lists, marketing strategies, new material research and research and development
strategies. (I will understand the term “data” to refer to all information maintained at or for the organization, in
any fashion, either computerized or non-computerized, formally or informally, including all memoranda, notes,
reports, policies, procedures, methodologies, data, personnel files or any other documents.)
I understand that disclosure of such data will be a violation of this policy and may be a violation of law.
Therefore, I will treat all data maintained by the American Cancer Society as proprietary and confidential, and will
not release, disclose, or use information about our business, our employees, patients, donors or volunteers to
people or agencies outside of the Society in any way, shape, or form unless expressly authorized by the American
Cancer Society management in writing. The only exception to this policy will be to follow legal or regulatory
guidelines and with the specific knowledge and approval of my supervisor. I agree that any constituent data I enter
will adhere to Nationwide Data Standards.
I will not share my computer password or user id with anyone other than appropriate ACS personnel with a need
to know.
I also agree that personal or identifying data about our employees (such as names, addresses, phone numbers or
salaries) will not be released to people not authorized by the nature of their duties to receive such information,
without the express written consent of management and/or the affected employee.
I agree that I will contact the Vice President of Human Resources with any questions regarding this policy.
I,
, have read the Confidentiality Policy statement above and I agree to
abide by the guidelines of this statement. I understand that failure to do so will be treated as any other violation of
American Cancer Society policy and may result in disciplinary action up to, and including, termination of
employment or relinquishment of my position.
