A Nebraska non-disclosure agreement is a legal document that imposes strict restrictions on disclosing sensitive company information. Once the document has the signatures of the receiving and disclosing parties, it helps shield proprietary information from external entities. This way, the disclosing party can feel more confident sharing company data with pertinent parties.
Companies use this document to establish other kinds of business relationships during the hiring process. A company may choose to implement a mutual or unilateral NDA. The former is a document that ensures each party is equally accountable for safeguarding shared information, while the latter only involves one party bound to maintain confidentiality.
