ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE REQUIRED

Falcon Project Confidentiality Acknowledgement and Agreement

When you applied with Appen, you signed a Master Services Agreement (MSA) which includes a very specific clauses
about non-disclosure and confidentiality of proprietary information of both Appen and its customers (Non-disclosure
Agreement or NDA).

The NDA clause is listed below in italics for your convenience. Please note that you have already agreed to these terms
by signing the MSA when you applied.

Appen and our client expect contributors on this project to take confidentiality very seriously. Violating any of these legal
obligations may result in permanent removal from Appen projects, claims for breach of the MSA or other legal action
against you. In order to ensure you have all of the proper knowledge to remain in compliance with the agreement you
signed, we’d like for you to review the reminders below.

Confidentiality Reminders

Note: Some projects specifically request contributors to share information, guidelines, work in a public space or give
other directions that seem to contradict the following best practices. In those projects, the reminders below may not apply
but in those scenarios, there will be clear and specific guidance on what is shareable. Unless specifically noted
otherwise, please follow the guidance below.

All work must be done using your personal computer or approved mobile application (Appen’s or the client’s) on
an encrypted network.
Do not share customer data. 
Do not share customer or Appen confidential information.
(If applicable) Do not share qualification or quiz answers with others.
Do not share login or account information to any Appen or client provided tools with someone else or allow that
person to login and perform work under the true account owner’s name.
Do not share individually or to a group, any confidential project materials, such as project guidelines, project
names, quiz or qualification answers and other confidential project documents.
This includes sites and communication such as email, FTP sites, social media groups and chats or any
other locations where people who have not yet signed a project NDA agreement can access them. 
EXCEPTION – Some projects explicitly ask contributors to share the guidelines, please follow project
guidance on how that information can be shared.
Do not participate in giving or receiving test answers to exams, quizzes or golden set jobs with other independent
contractors (please note that even if you didn’t post the materials, just used them, this is still in violation of the
MSA - Master Services Agreement)
Do not participate in a group or chat outside of an Appen-provided method of communication to discuss
confidential project information.
In addition to the materials mentioned above, this also includes sharing or discussing:
specific jobs, golden jobs, rating criteria, rating scales or any related details of the rating process
the client or Appen provided tool and operating details and providing screenshots of the tool
the client or Appen provided tool or queue URL with others
Generally speaking, unless otherwise noted by a particular project team, Appen Connect and email are
the company’s main methods of communication with vendors and the only appropriate channels to
discuss the project.
Set aside a designated workspace.
Choose a private area free from distractions and where no others can view your screen or hear your audio.

Best Practices

Unless your project specifically advises otherwise, we recommended the following privacy best practices:

Using a privacy filter to restrict who can view your display

Using headphones when listening to audio
Closing your laptop or lock the screen when others are present.
Set aside a designated workspace.
Choose an area free from distractions and where no others can view your screen or hear your audio.
Practicing good Internet hygiene by not browsing the web to check the news or visit websites that could
unknowingly contain malicious content while working on client user data
Being vigilant about data privacy 

IMPORTANT: If you are aware or suspect that the data you are handling is potentially compromised (e.g., got lost or was
accessed or used by someone without authorization), you should submit a ticket to your project support team via Appen
Connect. 

Confidentiality Section of MSA:

               8.1 Definition.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Proprietary Information” means: (i) all information of
the Company and all information of the Client, in each case disclosed or made available to Contractor and that
is marked or otherwise identified as confidential, and (ii) all information of the Company and all information of
the Client, in each case disclosed or made available to the Contractor, whether or not so marked or designated,
that the Contractor knows or reasonably should know, based on the circumstances of disclosure, to be
confidential.  Proprietary Information shall not include information that Contractor can demonstrate: (1) was
publicly available at the time it was communicated to Contractor; (2) became publicly available subsequent to
the time it was communicated to Contractor through no fault of the Contractor and without a knowing violation of
a confidentiality agreement; or (3) was in the Contractor’s possession free of any obligation of confidence at the
time it was communicated to the Contractor as evidenced by Contractor’s written records kept in the ordinary
course.  The terms of this Agreement (including without limitation each Scope of Work), all Results and all Data,
constitute Proprietary Information.

       8.2 Obligations.  Contractor shall, during the Term and for five (5) years thereafter, unless specified in
writing, or in the Scope of Work, by the Company for a longer period of time with respect to any given Client,
hold all Proprietary information in strict confidence and shall treat such Proprietary Information with the same
 degree of care that it uses to protect its own Proprietary Information (in no event less than that which is
reasonably required to protect the Proprietary Information).  Contractor will not use Proprietary Information in
any way and will not disclose such Proprietary Information to any third party, except as contemplated by this
Agreement; provided, that Contractor shall only use such information for the sole benefit of the Company as
required to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the above, Contractor shall not be in
violation of this Section with regard to a disclosure that was (i) required by applicable disclosure laws, or (ii) in
response to a valid order by a court or other governmental body, in which case the Contractor must provide the
Company with prior written notice of such disclosure in order to permit the Company to seek confidential
treatment of such information, and must cooperate in any attempt to seek such confidential treatment.

       8.3 Additional Restrictions. Contractor may not reproduce Proprietary Information in any form except as
required to accomplish the intent of this Agreement.  Any such reproduction shall remain the property of the
Company and shall contain any and all confidential or proprietary notices or legends that appear on the
original.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting to Contractor any property rights,
by license or otherwise, to any Proprietary Information, or to any invention or any patent, copyright, trademark,
or other intellectual property right that has issued or that may issue, based on such Proprietary Information. 
Contractor shall not make, have made, use or sell for any purpose any product or other item using,
incorporating or derived from any Proprietary Information.   Contractor shall not communicate any information to
any party in violation of the proprietary rights of any third party.  Contractor shall not modify, reverse engineer,
decompile, create other works from, or disassemble any software programs contained in the Proprietary
Information without the Company’s prior written consent.

       8.4 Disclosure.  Contractor shall immediately notify the Company upon discovery of any loss or
unauthorized disclosure of any Proprietary Information.

       8.5 Return of Materials.  Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, or upon written request of the
Company, Contractor shall promptly return to the Company all documents and other tangible materials
representing Proprietary Information and all copies thereof in Contractor’s possession or control.
