Confidentiality Agreement

For High Impact Volunteer:

As a volunteer, you may have access to information and reports from City Union Mission. You will have access to what this agreement refers to as “confidential information”. Confidential information includes donor and client information and reports, as well as access codes and computer passwords. You may learn of or have access to some of this confidential information through a computer system, files, or volunteer activities.

Confidential information is valuable and sensitive and is protected by law and by strict City Union Mission policies. The intent of these laws and policies is to assure that confidential information will remain confidential. Your principal obligations in this area are explained below.

Accordingly, as condition of and in consideration of your access to confidential information, you promise that:
