What is a Confidentiality Clause? | Contract Central

A contract's confidentiality clause specifies the rules for keeping information between the contract's parties private, confidential, and from being disclosed to others. At a high level, that's it, but the details are crucial. There are times when you are permitted to share information. Either because a certain number of years have passed or because law enforcement has approached you and requested it.

But the specifics of what's in that confidentiality clause are crucial. And the only way to find out more is to read the confidentiality clause. The problem is that sometimes you have to read the confidentiality clauses in a whole bunch of different agreements. It's easy enough to find the confidentiality clause in one agreement, but trying to find them across a whole pile of contracts can be difficult.

In that case, you can either read the contracts or use contract analysis AI to find the confidentiality clauses automatically.
