non-disclosure agreements

Secrecy legal documents

Non-disclosure agreements are contracts that prohibit parties from sharing confidential information.

Often abbreviated NDA, they're standard in business dealings, employment, and legal settlements.

Someone signing an NDA agrees not to reveal specified information—trade secrets, settlement terms, or proprietary methods: Everyone on the project had to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Critics note that NDAs can silence victims of harassment or misconduct.
