nondisclosure
Withholding of information
Nondisclosure is the practice of keeping information confidential.
The term appears most often in legal contexts: a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) is a contract requiring parties to keep certain information secret.
Employees signed nondisclosures before seeing the prototype.
Nondisclosure can also refer to failure to reveal required information: nondisclosure of assets on a loan application.
