A contractual provision restricting the disclosure of proprietary or sensitive information shared between the parties.

Confidentiality Clause Overview

A confidentiality clause restricts a party from disclosing sensitive or proprietary information it learns from the other party during the relationship, and typically defines what counts as confidential, who it can be shared with, and how long the duty lasts.

It's used whenever parties need to share sensitive business information, such as financials, trade secrets, or product plans, to do business together, and want assurance that information won't be leaked or used outside the relationship.

Check what's excluded from the definition of "confidential" (information already public, or independently known before disclosure, is standard), how long the obligation lasts after the relationship ends, and whether it permits disclosure when legally required, such as in response to a court order, with advance notice.

Foire aux questions

Qu'est-ce que la clause de Confidentiality ?
A contractual provision restricting the disclosure of proprietary or sensitive information shared between the parties.
Quand un contrat inclurait-il la clause de Confidentiality ?
En général, les parties ajoutent une clause comme celle-ci lorsque la question sous-jacente est suffisamment importante pour qu'elles souhaitent que l'accord lui-même énonce une position claire et négociée, plutôt que de la laisser à l'interprétation, à la coutume de l'industrie ou à toute autre règle par défaut qui s'appliquerait autrement. La spécificité de la formulation reflète généralement l'importance de ce point lors de la négociation.
À quoi dois-je faire attention lors de l'examen de la clause de Confidentiality ?
La formulation de ce type de clause varie beaucoup d'un contrat à l'autre ; la portée, les conditions de déclenchement, les exceptions et les termes définis connexes sont souvent lourdement négociés. Lorsque vous en examinez une, comparez-la à vos propres priorités plutôt que de supposer qu'une version standard ou « du marché » s'applique, et vérifiez comment elle interagit avec les autres clauses du même accord.
Cette clause est-elle légalement requise, et puis-je simplement copier un exemple dans mon contrat ?
La nécessité d'une clause comme celle-ci, et la manière exacte dont elle doit être formulée, dépendent du contrat, de l'industrie et des lois applicables à cet accord spécifique. Les exemples sur cette page sont fournis à des fins d'éducation générale et de référence, et non de conseils juridiques. Par conséquent, pour un contrat que vous avez l'intention de signer, faites examiner la formulation spécifique par un avocat qualifié.
