Mutual NDA template
A two-way non-disclosure agreement you can use before sharing confidential information either direction. Download it, have your attorney review it, and set the governing law before signing.
Template only. Have a qualified attorney review it and set the governing law and jurisdiction before use. This is not legal advice.
We treat your data the way we treat code: with governance and a clear record of who can see what and why. Before a scoping conversation that touches non-public information, a mutual NDA keeps both sides protected. The template below is mutual, has a two-year term with a three-year survival on confidentiality, and leaves governing law and jurisdiction blank for your counsel to set.

What it covers
- Mutual obligations — both parties are bound, so the same protection applies in both directions.
- Clear definition — what counts as confidential information, and the standard exclusions (public domain, already known, independently developed, received from a third party, required by law).
- Term and survival — a two-year term with confidentiality obligations surviving for three years after termination.
- Return or destruction — what happens to confidential materials when the relationship ends.
- Blanks for your counsel — governing law, jurisdiction, parties, and addresses are left to be completed and reviewed by a qualified attorney before signing.
Next step
Once an NDA is in place, the cleanest way to start is a fixed-scope Data Foundation Audit. See the full engagement flow on how we operate and the tiers on the plans page.
