1.

As the printer, we will, to the best of our abilities, contain and keep
the submitted job and all its part (text, photos) confidential. We will
oversee the handling of the job to minimize the possibility of any part
of it being leaked or reproduced without authorization That we will
return the file to customer and destroy or delete all copies from our
office/ production premises both physical and digital.

2. But having done the due diligence on our part we won't also
necessarily be held civilly or criminally liable. (but we want to
obfuscate this ) * we intend to really take extra care and precaution of
the material getting out or being reproduced without proper
authorization from management, but we also don't want to be held
liable should an errant employee take a snapshot or "spoilage" copy
out and share it.

3. We also do this by limiting the number of staff who can see the file
and the prints/ and we will destroy and erase both hard and soft copy
from our premises after the job is accepted by the customer and the
file is turned over to the customer

But overall, the tone should be like a legal document to assure the
customer that we will go to extra length to keep their material
confidential.
