[Describe specific data security protocols the receiving party must follow to satisfy NY SHIELD Act standards:]
This clause specifies what types of information are considered confidential. It is crucial to clarify what is and what is not included to prevent any disputes.
Details the responsibilities of the party receiving the confidential information, including how they must protect it and any limitations on its use.
Lists exceptions to what is considered confidential, such as information that is already public or was independently developed without using the disclosed information.
Specifies the length of time that the agreement lasts and how long confidentiality is to be maintained. This can include both the term of the agreement and any surviving obligations.
Outlines circumstances where the receiving party is allowed to disclose information, for example, as required by law or to employees who need to know.
Requires the receiving party to return or destroy any confidential materials at the end of the agreement or upon request.
Describes the available legal remedies if the agreement is breached, such as injunctions or damages. This is crucial for enforcement and deterrence.
Specifies which state’s laws will govern the agreement and which courts will have jurisdiction over disputes. This is important for clarity and legal planning.
Affirms that the written document comprises the complete agreement between the parties regarding the confidentiality terms, superseding any prior discussions or agreements.
Ensures that if one part of the contract is found invalid, the rest of the agreement still holds.
In the high-stakes environment of New York tax preparation, a generic NDA is insufficient. Your firm handles sensitive W-2s, 1099s, and depreciation schedules that fall under the strict data security mandates of the NY SHIELD Act and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). Under Treasury Department Circular 230 and IRC standards, any breach of confidentiality can result in severe IRS penalties and E&O liability. Our New York-specific NDA ensures compliance with N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law § 5-701 and includes required clauses for Permitted Disclosures and Remedies for Breach, protecting your firm from identity theft risks and fee disputes while maintaining professional competence standards.
The NY SHIELD Act requires any business handling the private information of New York residents to maintain specific data security safeguards. Your NDA must work in tandem with these requirements by defining 'Confidential Information' to include all personal financial data, ensuring that any receiving party—such as an outsourced bookkeeper or consultant—is legally bound to provide the administrative and technical protections mandated by New York law.
Yes. Our agreement includes a 'Permitted Disclosures' clause specifically designed for tax professionals. This allows for the disclosure of information when required by law or during practice before the IRS as outlined in Circular 230, ensuring you aren't in breach of your contract when complying with federal regulatory obligations.
The 'Remedies for Breach' clause provides the legal framework to seek injunctions and damages. Given the high risk of identity theft and subsequent IRS penalties, this document specifies that New York courts have jurisdiction, allowing you to enforce the agreement under N.Y. General Obligations Law and seek prompt recovery for any actual damages or attorney’s fees incurred.
