nondisclosure agreements
Legal silence promises
Nondisclosure agreements are contracts that prohibit parties from sharing confidential information.
Common in business, employment, and legal settlements, they bind signatories to secrecy about trade secrets, proprietary methods, or sensitive details: Everyone who worked on the project signed a nondisclosure agreement.
Often abbreviated NDA.
The plural form is more common than the singular, as these agreements typically appear in discussions of standard business practice.
