Confidentiality Agreement

 

All investigations, and relevant privileged team information, is considered automatically and absolutely non-disclosure. This means CIP members are forbidden from discussing any details about any case to anyone outside of CIP (including but not limited to TV and radio), to include but not be limited to Location, Names, Activity Claimed, or Present Evidence collected to include audio, photographic, video, or other evidence, or any other identifying information. I also understand that all information about Investigations, Team members, training information, or other privileged team information, must not be disclosed without the permission of the Founder and/or Lead Investigators. The exception to this is with another approved paranormal investigation group’s member(s) who may be assisting with the particular case. The disclosure of case information to the person(s) involved will be approved by the Founder and/or Lead Investigators. Any violation of this rule will result in immediate membership revocation. This includes discussing cases with any law enforcement without a proper warrant supplied and signed by a judge.

 

As stated previously, law enforcement is also barred from details of cases, case files, investigations, and team information and documents unless a valid court order or warrant is supplied and signed by a judge. If a warrant/order that is valid and legal is presented, access will be allowed under due process of law.

 

CIP reserves the right to use data collected for study, research, and education purposes, including but not limited to the posting of evidence on an official website, newsletter, or other media. However, CIP will not post or disclose any evidence that may violate this confidentiality agreement, or result in the direct or indirect disclosure of any client identity or any personal information.

 

I have read the CENTRAL ILLINOIS PARANORMAL confidentiality agreement and agree to its terms and conditions and I agree to adhere to the CENTRAL ILLINOIS PARANORMAL confidentiality agreement.
