Common use of De-Identification Clause in Contracts

De-Identification. The Recipient will not receive any Identifiable Private Information (IPI) as defined in 45 CFR 46. Instead, only de-identified Human Material, with a code for research purposes that is available only to the NIH Provider, will be supplied. In the event that Recipient receives IPI in error, Recipient agrees to: (a) Maintain any accidentally transferred IPI in a secure manner that restricts access to any individual not involved in the Research Project [e.g., for paper records – locked file cabinets or continual physical presence in a room that locks or for electronic records – encryption and password protection]; (b) Notify the Provider of any incorrectly transferred IPI; (c) Destroy or return the IPI at the earliest time at which removal or destruction can be accomplished subject to any instructions from the Provider, and send confirmation of the destruction or return to the Provider. (d) Make no further use or disclosure of the IPI, except as required by law.
