A non-disclosure agreement is a legal agreement between at least two parties that describes sensitive information and material that they desire to communicate with one another for certain purposes but not with a third party. It also establishes a confidential connection between the parties in order to safeguard any sensitive or proprietary information. It safeguards nonpublic corporate data.

I feel there is no way to gauge about how much information is shared when one signs a NDA. It is based on who is signing the agreement. For example, a company most likely will not tell you their top-secret information if you are going for an interview. If you walk past production lines or research areas on your way to the interview, those may not be as secretive, but still are to some extent. I believe there would have to be some form of access level required to reach different areas and would have to sign several NDA’s as the access is granted.

i agree with others and i think that company decides how much information to disclose in an NDA by assessing the nature of the collaboration, tthe sensitivity of the information, and the level of access required for the other party to fulfill their role. Factors such as intellectual property protection, competitive risks, and regulatory compliance are typically considered when determining disclosure limits. In my experience, executing an NDA involves ensuring both parties have a shared understanding of confidentiality expectations, and I’ve seen instances where access to sensitive data was limited to specific project phases to minimize risks while maintaining productivity.
