A nondisclosure agreement is a document which states specific terms and conditions of a working relationship between an independent contractor and an employer. An abbreviation for this type of agreement is called an NDA. Many freelancers will use a mutual nondisclosure agreement when working with individuals and corporations to protect any information given to them through conversation or sent to them as hard copies or electronic documents. Clients may also have their own version of a NDA for a independent contractor to sign.
Regardless if you use your own nondisclosure agreement or a clients, before any work is started, it must be reviewed and signed by both parties involved. Each party should have copies for their records so if an issue should arise, the NDA can be consulted.
