Retention, Destruction or Return of Information and Data Clause Samples

The 'Retention, Destruction or Return of Information and Data' clause sets out the obligations of parties regarding how confidential or sensitive information must be handled at the end of a contract or upon request. Typically, it requires that one party either returns all received data, destroys it securely, or retains it only as necessary for legal compliance. For example, after a business relationship ends, a service provider may need to delete client files or return physical documents. This clause ensures that proprietary or confidential information is not improperly retained or disclosed, thereby protecting the interests and privacy of the disclosing party.
