Document background
An Amendment To Confidentiality Agreement becomes necessary when parties need to modify their existing confidentiality arrangements due to changing business circumstances, regulatory requirements, or practical needs. This document type is commonly used in Canadian business contexts when parties need to expand or restrict the scope of confidential information, add or remove parties, extend or modify time periods, update notice provisions, or clarify ambiguous terms in the original agreement. The amendment must align with Canadian federal and provincial laws governing privacy, contracts, and confidential information. It's particularly important in situations involving cross-border transactions, as Canadian privacy laws may have different requirements than other jurisdictions. The document typically references the original agreement and clearly outlines which provisions are being modified while affirming that all other terms remain in effect.
