Staff/volunteer agreement Confidentiality Agreement

Staff/Volunteer Confidentiality Agreement(Required)

I do hereby declare and affirm that I understand that in the course of my work for the FFFC, I may learn certain facts about individual donors or those being served in the foster care system that are of a highly personal and confidential nature. Examples of such information are medical information, finances, living arrangements, employment, sexual orientation or relations with friends and family.

I understand that all client information, whether written, oral, or machine-readable, must be treated as completely confidential. I agree never to disclose any information, including the fact that any individual is a client, to any person not expressly authorized by the FFFC to have such information. I agree not to disclose any information without prior written consent of the individual to whom such information pertains. As a staff member or volunteer of FFFC, I agree to abide by these restrictions without exception and to adhere to all policies approved by the board of directors.

In addition, I agree to maintain the physical security of all FFFC files, documents, donor records and personal notes whether in paper or machine-readable format which contain personal information of the type discussed above. I understand that all such information, without exception, is to be kept in a locked file cabinet or other secure place and is not to be removed from the FFFC premises without authorization. If I am designated an authorized key holder I will abide completely by this agreement and adhere to all FFFC policies in my use of any keys belonging to the FFC.

I understand that any breach of this agreement will result in immediate termination of my work with the FFFC in addition to any other resolution that the FFFC may pursue.
