A contract requiring you to keep certain information secret.
A non-disclosure agreement obligates you to keep defined information confidential and not use it outside the relationship. NDAs are routine at hiring, in deals, and with vendors. The details — what counts as confidential, how long the duty lasts, and what’s excluded — decide how much the agreement actually constrains you.

Watch for a non-compete or non-solicit hiding inside an NDA, and for return-or-destroy obligations. A mutual NDA protects both sides; a one-way one binds only you.

“The obligations herein shall survive indefinitely and apply to all information disclosed, whether or not marked confidential.”
“Whether or not marked confidential” combined with “indefinitely” is a broad pairing — it can bind you to information you didn’t know was protected. Ask for standard exclusions and a defined term.
