It's legal mumbo-jumbo, but the gist is:
* Except for where it says otherwise in this agreement,
* BA may use or disclose protected info
- On behalf of, or to provide services to CE...
[This is the part about which you asked]
...provided such discloser of PHI would not violate the PR if CE were
the one doing the disclosing...
* ...or provided that such disclosure would not violate the minimum
policies & procedures of CE.
Who /WROTE/ this stuff?! Tell them to take a hike* until they can find
someone able to communicate a clear thought in plain language.

* "Take a hike" is a euphemism for "pack sand" ;)

I will not, no matter how "good" the deal, patronise any business which sends
unsolicited commercial e-mail or that advertises in discussion newsgroups.
