Table of contents

An employee confidentiality agreement helps prevent an employee from making unauthorized disclosures of the employer's confidential information or using it for his or her own benefit. LegalNature's agreement uses a comprehensive definition of "confidential information" and "trade secrets" to ensure any and all proprietary information remains well protected. The employee is required to exercise the utmost diligence and his or her best efforts to guard and protect against unauthorized disclosure or theft of confidential information and trade secrets. Also, if the employee learns that someone else is making unauthorized disclosures, the employee is required to notify the employer.
