The duration of Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) typically ranges from one to five years, depending on the specific needs and circumstances of the agreement.
Time frame: Most NDAs don't last forever, and many confidentiality agreements explicitly state the number of years that sensitive information must be kept secret. Even those with an indefinite time frame will often indicate when information is no longer protected by the agreement.
It's common to see it limited to 3 or 5 years. After that time they will be able to use and disclose your information. Once information is made public in anyway, an NDA can't be enforced. Some information could be kept confidential forever.
To create a Non-Disclosure Agreement, include the following information: The parties' names and contact information. The length of the non-disclosure period. The scope and definition of the confidential information. The obligations of the Non-Disclosure Agreement. The ownership and return information.
There is no “set” expiration term for non-disclosure agreements and various forms are all over the map between a set expiration and no term.
An employment contract is an excellent example of a unilateral NDA. When an employee is hired, they sign a unilateral NDA agreeing not to share information learned on the job.

At the top, there are three types, unilateral, bilateral, and multilateral NDAs. The rest of the specific NDA types fall under these three categories. Most are based on who has to sign the NDA. Not all NDAs are created equally, and they can only demand so much secrecy from strangers when compared to their employees.
There are three types of NDAs: unilateral, bilateral, and multilateral. Read on to learn when you should use each type. You'll also learn how to use a contract management tool like Ironclad to draft and manage them.
NDAs can also be used to impose a contractual obligation on one or both parties not to publish images (or other mentions) of the other and other family members on social media accounts, and/or to delete any such content. This can apply during marriage or in the event of relationship breakdown.
