Frequently asked questions

What is a one-way confidentiality agreement?

A one-way confidentiality agreement (also called a unilateral NDA) is a legal contract where only one party, typically the disclosing business, is protected from having their confidential information shared or misused. It differs from a mutual NDA, where both parties share and protect information.

When should I use a one-way confidentiality agreement?

Use one when you're sharing sensitive business information with a contractor, supplier, employee, or potential partner, but they are not sharing confidential information back with you. Common scenarios include product pitches, hiring processes, and vendor negotiations.

What does a one-way confidentiality agreement cover?

It typically covers the definition of confidential information, how the receiving party may use it, the duration of confidentiality obligations, and remedies for breach. It ensures your intellectual property, trade secrets, and business data stay protected.

Do I need legal advice before signing a confidentiality agreement?
