A non-disclosure agreement (NDA), also known as a confidentiality agreement, is a legally binding contract that protects proprietary information. It ensures the secrecy of sensitive data like trade secrets, business plans, software code, and more, by restricting its disclosure to unauthorised third parties.
Consultants and agencies, who often handle confidential information from multiple clients across the same industry, frequently enter into NDAs to uphold legal obligations and maintain client trust.
