What is the difference between an NDA and a confidentiality agreement?

Curated by Vinod Kumar Jain & Amit Jain · All Frontier Global · free, no login

NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) and confidentiality agreement are functionally the same document — both create a legal obligation to keep shared information confidential. In practice: NDAs are typically mutual (both parties exchange confidential information); confidentiality agreements can be unilateral (only one party discloses). For India-EU negotiations: execute a mutual NDA before sharing product formulations, business plans, customer lists, or pricing strategies.
