A Confidentiality Agreement — General is a legally binding document between two parties that outlines the confidential information that will be shared between them and the terms of how that information will be safeguarded. It is used to protect confidential information from misuse, unauthorized access and disclosure. The two types of Confidentiality Agreement — General are Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and Mutual Confidentiality Agreements (MCAS). An NDA is a contract between two parties in which one party agrees not to disclose confidential information received from the other party. An MCA is a more detailed agreement between multiple parties to protect confidential information. Both types of Confidentiality Agreement — General include information about the parties involved, the purpose of the agreement, the scope of the agreement, the obligations of the parties, the duration of the agreement, and other applicable terms and conditions. This agreement is important to ensure that both parties understand the obligations and are held accountable for any breach of the agreement.
