The Connected Person shall cooperate fully with any such Demand, including by furnishing such information within such reasonable period of time as may be determined by the Anti-Corruption Officer, which ordinarily, should be no earlier than fourteen (14) days of the Connected Person’s receipt of the Demand. Where appropriate, the Connected Person may seek a reasonable extension of time from the Anti-Corruption Officer by providing the Anti-Corruption Officer with clear and justifiable reasons to support such an extension. 6.7.4 Any information furnished to the Anti-Corruption Officer will not be used for any reason other than pursuant to these Anti-Corruption Regulations and/or the anti-corruption regulations of a Union and will be kept strictly confidential except when: (a) It becomes necessary to disclose such information in support of a charge of breach of the Anti-Corruption Regulations; (b) Such information is already published or within the public domain and readily acquired by an interested member of the public, or (c) Disclosed according to the rules and regulations governing the relevant Event; and/or (d) It becomes necessary to disclose such information where it may also amount to or evidence infringements (actual or potential) of applicable laws or regulations. In such circumstances the Anti- Corruption Officer and/or World Rugby may conduct investigations in relation to such matter in conjunction with and/or may share information relating to the matter with the competent authorities (including any applicable police, taxation, fraud, criminal intelligence or other authorities), whether pursuant to formal information-sharing information agreements with such authorities or otherwise. Excluding where required by law pursuant to (d) above, the Anti- Corruption Officer shall not disclose any information which he considers likely to endanger the health and/or safety of any person and/or the interests of the Game.
