Real-world examples

Preferred Confidentiality Clause
"Each party agrees to hold in strict confidence and not to disclose to any third party any Confidential Information disclosed to it by the other party.

NEUTRAL
Fallback Confidentiality Clause
"Confidential Information may be disclosed by the receiving party to its employees, agents, or subcontractors who need to know such information for the purposes of performing obligations under this Agreement, provided that such employees, agents, or subcontractors are bound by confidentiality obligations no less stringent than those contained herein."

Weak Confidentiality Terms
"The parties may disclose Confidential Information without restrictions, provided it is deemed necessary."
