California courts have long ruled that companies can use NDAs to protect certain financial, technical, and businessrelated information. A confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement (NDA) can be a difficult thing to deal with, but it doesn't have to be.Consumers may be asked to sign nondisclosure or confidentiality agreements in exchange for refunds. It usually isn't a crime, although if you signed an NDA with the intention of violating it, that can be fraud. Under NO CERCUMSTANCES can an NDA prevent you from disclosing a crime. The contract is not legal in that case and the NDA is dismissed. CCA Confidential Information does not include any information or documents contained in the public files of any state or federal agency or court or any. While nondisclosure agreements are generally enforceable in California, their enforceability can be subject to certain limitations and considerations. In general, your solution is in the original NDA document itself. Upon finding out about the breach of an NDA, the first action most companies take is to launch a formal investigation.
