secrecy agreements

Secrecy agreements, also known as confidentiality agreements, are legal contracts where one or more parties agree to keep certain information private. They specify what information must be kept confidential, how it can be used, and for how long. These agreements protect sensitive data—like trade secrets, business plans, or personal information—by legally restricting unauthorized sharing or disclosure. If someone breaches the agreement, the other party can seek legal remedies. Secrecy agreements are common in business partnerships, employment, and collaborations to ensure proprietary or private information remains protected.
