German term or phrase: Dritten erwonnenen Kenntnisse
Der Betreiber ist verpflichtet zur vertraulichen Behandlung aller im Zusammenhang mit der Durchführung der Leistungen über den Dritten gewonnenen Erkenntnisse und wird Dritten gegenüber Angaben nur insoweit machen, als dies zur Durchführung des Auftrages notwendig ist.

To be honest, I'm really not sure how "Dritten" figures in here. It seems to only make grammatical sense to me as "knowledge/know-how obtained from third parties", but in such a confidentiality clause, usually you're worried about disclosing things to third parties, not the other way around.

Thanks.

things he knows about the third party


Explanation:
da scheint's zwei Dritte zu geben
der eine Dritte, über den der Betreiber etwas erfährt
und den anderen Dritten, dem gegenüber der Betreiber nix offenlegen darf

my feeble attempt:
The operator shall be obliged to hold confidential everything he learns about the third party in connection with the provision of the services; furthermore, the operator shall disclose any information only to the extent required for the provision of the services to third parties.
