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"  ;)

--
Please take off your shoes before arriving at my in-box.
I will not, no matter how "good" the deal, patronise any business which sends
unsolicited commercial e-mail or that advertises in discussion newsgroups.
