The Technology NDA is essential for businesses and organizations engaging in technology-related collaborations, development projects, or discussions under Swiss law. This document is specifically designed to protect sensitive technical information, including but not limited to source code, technical specifications, algorithms, research data, and technological innovations. It incorporates Swiss legal requirements, particularly from the Code of Obligations (OR/CO) and Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP/DSG), while addressing modern technological challenges such as digital asset protection and cybersecurity measures. The agreement is commonly used in situations involving technology transfer, joint development projects, technical due diligence, or when sharing sensitive technical information with potential partners, contractors, or employees. It provides more specialized protection than a standard NDA by including specific provisions for technical data handling, digital security protocols, and technology-specific confidentiality measures.
