Instructions

Define confidential information broadly (customer lists, pricing, technology, business plans, financial data). Specify the duration of the obligation (during employment and typically 2-5 years after). Include exceptions for information that becomes public or was independently known. Address return of materials upon termination. Note that NDAs cannot prevent reporting illegal activity or filing government complaints.
