Confidentiality

TPR's customers tend to be leading edge companies in terms of technology and innovation and are often competition with each other. Our customers expect confidentiality in all business dealings with TPR. We take this requirement seriously and honor it in all instances.

The execution of a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) is a routine step in the process of establishing a relationship between TPR and each of our customers. As either preliminary discussions proceed or actual work occurs, TPR realizes that confidentiality is a given, with no compromises, no exception.

In fact, due to multiple TPR locations as well as staff dedicated to specific efforts, it is not unusual for TPR engineers to not even be aware of projects being developed by peers, unless, of course, their skill set is required on the project. Obviously, senior management will be familiar with all projects but information between development teams is shared only when appropriate. Confidentiality is considered a must from the start of business discussions to well beyond the completion of work.

TPR will not engage in a project if a conflict of interest is apparent. If there is a perception that this may be an issue, we take advantage of our multiple geographic locations and 4 separate physical buildings to segregate projects as required. Our labs have separate locks on the doors such that only specific project teams have access to those work areas. TPR never has unannounced visitors. All visitors sign in and are identified with a badge and always escorted while on site.
