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.
