PURPOSE: This rule ensures the confidentiality of customer proprietary network information.

(1) Any information that would constitute either recorded usage data or customer proprietary network information (CPNI) of a telecommunications company's customers pursuant to the Telecommunications Act and the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is deemed to be "confidential information." For purposes of this rule, the "recipient" is the party that directly or indirectly receives confidential information, and the "discloser" is the party that creates and/or passes confidential information to another party.

(2) The recipient must:

(A) Use confidential information only for intercompany billing purposes;

(B) Hold confidential information in confidence and disclose it to no one other than its employees having a need to know for intercompany billing purposes;

(C) Safeguard confidential information from unauthorized use or disclosure using at least the same degree of care with which the recipient safeguards its own confidential information; and

(D) Obtain the written consent of the discloser before disclosing any confidential information to a third party.

(3) The recipient may make copies of confidential information only as reasonably necessary to perform its obligations under this rule. All such copies will be subject to the same restrictions and protections as the original and will bear the same copyright and proprietary rights notices as are contained in the original.
