A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is a contract where parties agree not to share specified confidential information. It is standard before sharing business plans, product details, or client data.

Mutual vs One-Way

Mutual NDAs bind both parties. One-way NDAs bind only the receiver. Freelancers receiving client data typically sign one-way NDAs in the client's favour.

Key Clauses

Definition of confidential information, exclusions (publicly known data), duration, permitted disclosures (legal requirements), and return/destruction of materials.

Limitations

NDAs cannot protect information that is already public or independently developed. They are not a substitute for patents or trademarks.
