Confidentiality Clause
A confidentiality clause is a legal agreement that obligates parties to keep certain information private. This can include sensitive business details, trade secrets, or personal data. Essentially, if you sign a confidentiality clause, you promise not to share the specified information with anyone outside the agreement. Violating this clause could lead to legal consequences. Businesses often use these clauses to protect their interests and maintain trust with employees, partners, or clients, ensuring that valuable information doesn't become public or fall into competitors’ hands.
