PRIVACY — SPRINT INFORMATION



1. Compliance with Law. Retailer will comply with all U.S. laws relating to the collection, use,
access, maintenance and disclosure of Sprint Information. To the extent Retailer has access to
CPNI under this Agreement, Retailer may use CPNI only for the purpose of marketing or providing the
communications-related products and services similar to the products and services to which the
customer already subscribes. Retailer may not use, allow access to, or disclose CPNI to any other
party, unless required to make such disclosure under force of law. Retailer must have in place and
maintain appropriate protections to ensure the ongoing confidentiality of customers’ CPNI.



2. Safeguards. Retailer is fully responsible for Sprint Information. Retailer will utilize
administrative, physical, and technical safeguards that prevent the unauthorized collection,
access, disclosure, and use of Sprint Information. These Safeguards will:





	 	2.1	 	assign random passwords and other access controls so that only employees,
representatives, agents, contractors, and Subcontractors of Retailer who have a
business need to access or use Sprint Information may access or use it;
	 
	 	2.2	 	encrypt Sprint Information when not directly being used by an authorized person
while on Retailer’s network and at all times while in course of transmission;
	 
	 	2.3	 	use appropriate firewalls, virus protection and other technical safeguards
against intrusion upon, and harmful transmissions to, any network or facility on which
Sprint Information is stored;
	 
	 	2.4	 	grant access privileges to Sprint Information only as needed by employees,
representatives, agents, contractors and Subcontractors of Retailer who have a business
need to use that information, and prompt revocation of such privileges when no longer
required; and
	 
	 	2.5	 	train employees and other persons with access to Sprint Information in proper
security practices and procedures.




3. Notice of Security Breach. Retailer will promptly notify Sprint of any facts known to Retailer
concerning any accidental or unauthorized access, disclosure or use, or accidental or unauthorized
loss, damage or destruction of Sprint Information by any current or former employee,
representative, contractor, Subcontractor or agent of Retailer or by any other person or third
party. Retailer will fully cooperate with Sprint in the event of any accidental or unauthorized
access, disclosure or use, or accidental or unauthorized loss, damage or destruction of Sprint
Information by any other person or third party, to limit the unauthorized access, disclosure or
use, seek the return of any Sprint Information, and assist in providing notice if requested by
Sprint.



4. Disclosure of Sprint Information. Retailer will not disclose Sprint Information to any person
unless Sprint has given its prior written consent to the disclosure. Before disclosing Sprint
Information to any person, Retailer must ensure that that person is bound by the same obligations
as Retailer under this Agreement, including the obligation to protect Sprint Information that also
is classified as CPNI. In the event that Retailer receives a request to disclose Sprint
Information through legal process, such as a private party subpoena or a subpoena, warrant or other
process from a governmental authority, Retailer will:





	 	4.1	 	notify Sprint as soon as practicable of the request so that Sprint at its
option may seek a protective order or take other action to prevent or limit such
disclosure; and





Sprint RETAILER Agreement v1.1

Proprietary and Confidential




Page 25 of 30




 









 









	 	4.2	 	cooperate with Sprint’s efforts to obtain a protective order or other
reasonable assurance to preserve the confidentiality of the Sprint Information.




5. Return of Sprint Information. Retailer will return, or at Sprint’s election, destroy (and
certify the destruction in writing) all Sprint Information upon the termination or expiration of
this Agreement, or earlier if requested to do so in writing by Sprint.



6. Privacy Exhibit and Annual Certification. Retailer will certify annually its continued
compliance with all of the obligations in Sprint’s Privacy Policy, this Exhibit F and the related
provisions in the Agreement. The annual certification form and certification process will be
provided to Retailer by Sprint.



7. Audits and Corrective Action Plans. In addition to any other rights of Sprint under this
Agreement, if any audit under this Agreement identifies a customer privacy related failure in any
of Retailer’s privacy or confidentiality obligations, Retailer will promptly develop a corrective
action plan in cooperation with Sprint. This plan is subject to Sprint’s approval. Retailer will
implement this plan at its sole expense, if





	 	7.1	 	any audit shows that Retailer has failed to perform any of its obligations
under this Section; or
	 
	 	7.2	 	Sprint notifies Retailer in writing of its breach of its privacy obligations
under this Agreement.




8. Miscellaneous. The acts or omissions of Retailer and anyone with which it is associated (like
its employees, representatives, affiliates, agents, contractors, Subcontractors, and their
employees) are Retailer’s acts or omissions. The rights and obligations in this Exhibit F and any
other provision in the Agreement that is reasonably necessary to enforce them, will survive the
termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason. The provisions of this Exhibit F
control if they conflict with any other provision in the Agreement. Because a breach of any Sprint
Information provision may result in irreparable harm to Sprint, for which monetary damages may not
provide a sufficient remedy, Sprint may seek both monetary damages and equitable relief.

threatened breach, of this Agreement, then Sprint may, without complying with any other dispute
resolution procedures in this Exhibit G seek injunctive relief from a court of competent
jurisdiction.



5. Survival. The provisions of Exhibit G will continue in full force and effect subsequent to and
notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
