I hereby agree and understand that I am accountable in protection of the privacy and confidentiality of
any client information that I may directly or inadvertently see or hear about the Prince William Area
Agency on Aging’s clients and/or clients’ caregivers. I understand the need for Agency on Aging staff
to keep information confidential and will not ask about or seek information from Agency on Aging
staff about their clients.
I agree that I will not disclose to any other person, or allow any other person access to, any information
that is proprietary or confidential and/or pertains to clients, clients’ caregivers, employees, students,
volunteers, and the public. Disclosure of information includes, but it not limited to, verbal discussion,
FAX transmissions, electronic mail messages, voice mail communication, written documentation,
“loaning” computer access codes, and/or other transmissions or sharing of data.
If I observe any incidents where client information is shared with me or other non Agency on Aging

and will do so.
I understand that, Agency on Aging, Prince William County and its employees, students, volunteers,

confidential information and that the Agency on Aging and Prince William County may seek legal
remedies available to it should such disclosure occur.
