FAQ

What is a nondisclosure agreement? Whereas confidentiality agreements are typically devised in employment or personal situations to protect sensitive information, NDAs are often used in business and legal settings to protect trade secrets, client lists, and financial data.

In contrast to secrecy with its withholding of guilt and shame, confidentiality can be viewed as a therapeutic factor. Information shared in confidence within the group is not withheld in a spirit of fear or antagonism to some agency outside the group.

CMIA requires a health care provider, health care service plan, pharmaceutical company, or contractor who creates, maintains, preserves, stores, abandons, destroys, or disposes of medical records to do so in a manner that preserves the confidentiality of the information contained within those records.

In California, a nondisclosure agreement may be enforceable, provided it meets basic criteria. The restrictive covenant must be properly drafted.

Non-Disclosure Agreement is used when the obligation is one-way (or unilateral). However, if there is a two-way (or multi-lateral) exchange of secret or commercially sensitive information, the agreement is more likely to be titled a Confidentiality Agreement.

What is the HIPAA/CMIA confidentiality rule? Generally, health care providers cannot disclose information protected by HIPAA and without a signed authorization. An authorization form must include specific elements to be valid under HIPAA and CMIA.

Three circumstances making disclosure of confidential information lawful are: where the individual to whom the information relates has consented. where disclosure is necessary to safeguard the individual, or others, or is in the public interest. where there is a legal duty to do so, for example a court order.
