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 unilateral NDAs, only one party agrees not to disclose classified information. A mutual NDA means that both/all parties agree not to share any confidential information. For this article, the term “NDA” equates to a unilateral NDA and the term “confidentiality agreement” equates to a mutual NDA.
As a general concept, non-disclosure agreements, often referred to as NDAs, are agreements between parties that are used to ensure that certain information will remain confidential.
Information is 'confidential' if there is a restriction on its disclosure, normally placed by the person or organisation that provides it.
A confidential relationship means that at least one party has a duty not to disclose the relevant knowledge without authorization. In general, a non-disclosure agreement can be categorized as either a unilateral or mutual/bilateral NDA. In unilateral NDAs, only one party agrees not to disclose classified information.
Use: NDAs are often used by startups or third-party partnerships. CDAs are used in high-value corporate transactions or in military service.
