non disclosure
Non Disclosure (or Confidentiality) agreements are useful when disclosing information that you do not want to be discussed with any other party or your competitors. This might be if you are pitching for work or if you are explaining the special methods you use to create a product.
They are legally binding documents which can be tailored to your specification.
Always ask the organisation you will be disclosing the information to, to read and sign the document before the initial meeting takes place.
Here is a long and a short version which you can adapt to your individual circumstances. The long template adequately covers oral discussions and presentations of ideas, whilst the short template is appropriate whenever material is sent/lent to a prospective client for consideration, for instance a style guide on disc, artwork, etc.
