Document background
A Confidentiality Deed is essential when parties need to share sensitive business, technical, or commercial information while ensuring legal protection under Austrian law. This document is particularly relevant during business negotiations, due diligence processes, joint ventures, or any situation requiring the disclosure of confidential information. The deed incorporates provisions from Austrian civil law, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Austrian Trade Secrets Act, and other relevant legislation. It provides a robust framework for defining confidential information, establishing clear obligations for its protection, and setting out remedies for breach. The Confidentiality Deed is designed to be enforceable under Austrian jurisdiction while remaining flexible enough to accommodate various business relationships and types of confidential information.
