Confidentiality Policy
Employees of the LLP (hereinafter referred to as "Employees") must comply with the rules of information handling and are obliged to keep strictly confidential information classified as confidential, which has become known to them through their work or otherwise.
Disclosure of confidential information of the LLP, transfer to third parties, publication without the consent of the LLP, as well as its use for any activity that as a competitive action may cause damage to the LLP, shall entail criminal, administrative, civil and other liability in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan and internal acts of the LLP.
An employee is obliged to work only with those information and documents of a confidential nature of the LLP to which he/she has gained access by virtue of his/her official duties, to know which specific information is subject to protection and to strictly comply with the rules for its use.
The employee must also know which employees are authorised to work with information containing confidential information of the LLP to which he/she has access and to what extent this information may be communicated to these employees.
When interacting with third parties, an Employee may introduce their representatives to confidential information of the LLP only with the authorisation of the management. In doing so, they must identify the specific issues to be addressed and indicate to what extent the information to be protected may be communicated.
It is prohibited to place confidential information of the LLP unnecessarily in documents containing state secrets and having, therefore, the corresponding classification. In case an Employee discovers the loss or shortage of documents containing confidential information, passes, keys to secure rooms, vaults, safes, personal seals, as well as the reasons and conditions of possible leakage of such information, the Employee shall immediately inform his/her immediate superior and the LLP Security Department to check the loss or shortage of such information.
Upon termination of employment, before going on leave or travelling on a business trip, the employee must hand over all LLP confidential information carriers (manuscripts, drafts, documents, floppy discs, printer printouts, etc.) that were at the employee's disposal in connection with the performance of his/her official duties.
An employee shall, at the first request of his/her supervisor, present for inspection all materials containing confidential information of the LLP, provide oral and written explanations on violations of the established rules of accounting and storage of documents containing such information.
In the event of an attempt by unauthorised persons or organisations, including foreign ones, to obtain confidential information, the Employee shall report this to the first manager and his deputies, as well as to the LLP Security Department.
Obligations related to the protection of confidential information of the LLP do not limit the Employee's rights to intellectual property, in particular, filing an application for invention, possible patenting, etc. The realisation of the Employee's rights to intellectual property is carried out in accordance with the procedure established by the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
