Common use of Data Storage and Security Clause in Contracts

Data Storage and Security. Data created, collected and/or manipulated under a Contract must be stored on secure Canadian owned primary and back-up servers in Ontario or, if necessary, on secure servers within Canada. Data may not be transported outside of Canada. Data transmitted or stored on computers, portable devices or other media must be protected using secure procedures (i.e. password protection, encryption of files, etc.) The Vendor will provide GBC, upon request, details describing their plan for meeting the data storage and security requirements, prior to entering into a Contract. When the Contract ends, whether through expiry or termination, the contracted Vendor will provide all data to GBC in a method to be determined at the time of Contract end. The contracted Vendor will be required to delete all data from any computers, servers, portable devices or media under their control.
