Document background
The Release of Confidentiality Form is a crucial legal document used in Belgian business and professional contexts when parties need to formally discharge confidentiality obligations. It's typically employed when circumstances require the disclosure of previously confidential information, such as during mergers and acquisitions, when employees transition to new roles, or when business relationships evolve. The document must comply with Belgian law, including the Civil Code, Data Protection Act, and Trade Secrets legislation, while also adhering to EU regulations like GDPR. This form carefully balances the need for information sharing with legal protection, specifying exactly what information can be disclosed, under what circumstances, and any remaining confidentiality obligations.
