The Non-Disclosure Contract serves as a critical legal instrument for protecting confidential information in business and professional relationships under Maltese law. It is essential for organizations operating in or through Malta who need to share sensitive information with third parties, employees, or business partners. The agreement ensures compliance with both Maltese legislation (including the Trade Secrets Act and Commercial Code) and EU regulations (particularly GDPR where personal data is involved). This document is commonly used during business negotiations, employment relationships, consultancy arrangements, and potential investments or partnerships. It provides clear definitions of confidential information, sets out specific obligations for information handling, and includes enforcement mechanisms under Maltese jurisdiction. The agreement can be customized for either one-way or mutual disclosure situations and includes provisions for both digital and physical information protection.
