Confidentiality Agreement

A confidentiality agreement, also known as a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), is a legal document that requires parties to keep certain information confidential. In the context of a lawsuit, a confidentiality agreement may be used to protect sensitive information, such as trade secrets or personal data, from being disclosed to the public or third parties. The agreement outlines what information is considered confidential, how it can be used, and the consequences of breaching the agreement. Confidentiality agreements are often used in settlement negotiations or when sharing sensitive information during the discovery process.
