about, relating to
Explanation:
Replace "as to" with "about". Then the sentence becomes "You are not authorized to provide disclosures 'about' which (talking about the Disclosure) the First Party may assert protection under this clause."

It means you are not permitted to disclose (something which is supposed to be hidden). If you do disclose, then the First Party (buyer or seller) may claim protection under this specific clause.
