About this document
CISC (Colorado Information Sharing Consortium) Master Terms, Paragraph 3 (Customer Data), subsection (iv) "PSDEX," from the Grand County, CO master agreement. The clause makes PSDEX contribution opt-in at the master-agreement level: no Customer Data enters the general PSDEX without the owning agency's prior written consent, which the agency may withhold, grant, revoke, or condition at its sole discretion. It also bars LexisNexis from conditioning access to any LN service on granting PSDEX rights (anti-tying). Each member signs the AVCC Addendum and records consent there.
Significance: the strongest customer-protective / consent-architecture language in the corpus, and a model clause consortiums and cities can demand. It does NOT appear in the standard LexisNexis government Master Terms (form LNMTC), where Paragraph 3's subsection (iv) is "Social Security and Driver's License Numbers." That makes the PSDEX consent subsection a CISC-negotiated addition.
Key language
(iv) PSDEX. No Customer Data may be incorporated into the general PSDEX without the prior written consent of the Customer who owns the Customer Data. Notwithstanding any written consent or agreement executed by a Customer, a Customer may withhold, grant, revoke, or condition its consent in its sole discretion. LN shall not condition use of any LN Services offered under these Master Terms on any license or right to incorporate Customer Data into PSDEX or to use Customer Data to provide LN Services to third parties (except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Paragraph 3 (Customer Data)). Each Customer shall sign the Accurint Virtual Crime Center (AVCC) Addendum in a form approved by the CISC and LN and provide or withhold its consent to share its Customer Data in the general PSDEX.
