About

What Is a Confidentiality Agreement?

A confidentiality agreement (also called an NDA or Non-Disclosure Agreement) is a legally binding contract in which one or both parties agree to keep certain information secret and not share it with outside parties. It protects sensitive business information — such as trade secrets, financial data, client lists, and proprietary processes — from being disclosed without authorization.

Confidentiality agreements are used across a wide range of business contexts: hiring new employees, engaging contractors, entering joint ventures, sharing a business plan with investors, or exploring a potential acquisition. A well-drafted agreement clearly defines what information is covered, who can access it, how it must be protected, and what happens if it is disclosed without authorization.

ContractMaker’s AI-powered template generates a professionally structured confidentiality agreement in under a minute, customized for your specific use case and ready to export to Word.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an NDA and a confidentiality agreement?
They are functionally the same document. 'NDA' (Non-Disclosure Agreement) and 'confidentiality agreement' are often used interchangeably. Both protect sensitive information from being disclosed to third parties.
Should my confidentiality agreement be mutual or one-way?
Use a mutual NDA when both parties are sharing confidential information (e.g., a joint venture). Use a one-way confidentiality agreement when only one party is disclosing (e.g., sharing your business plan with a potential investor).
How long should a confidentiality agreement last?
Typical terms range from 1 to 5 years for the main agreement, with confidentiality obligations often surviving for 2–5 years after termination. For trade secrets, some agreements have no expiration.
Is a confidentiality agreement legally enforceable?
A well-drafted confidentiality agreement is generally enforceable in most jurisdictions. Courts look for clear definition of what is confidential, reasonable scope, and adequate consideration.
Can I export to Word?
Yes. Every ContractMaker document exports as .docx with tracked changes, so your attorney can review and redline before signing.
