About this example
This example is a one-way confidentiality agreement a data analytics company asks a new employee to sign before the first day. It opens with a short welcome letter and a summary of the agreement, then defines what is confidential, from source code and client data to pricing and credentials, and what is not, including the employee's general skills and experience.
Employees follow rules they understand, so this agreement translates the clauses into everyday practice. A table shows how to handle client data, source code, business plans and passwords, and a short section explains company devices. It states plainly what the employee is always free to do, including discussing pay and reporting to government agencies, with the whistleblower notice from the US Defend Trade Secrets Act. The term, return of materials, remedies and checklists for the first and last day complete it.
Who it is for
Employers, HR teams and founders who need new hires to sign a clear, one-way confidentiality agreement.
