The Business Confidentiality Agreement is essential for protecting sensitive information in commercial relationships under Irish law. It is typically used when parties need to share confidential information during business discussions, due diligence processes, strategic partnerships, or potential transactions. The agreement ensures compliance with Irish and EU regulations, including the Protection of Trade Secrets Regulations 2018 and GDPR. It defines the scope of confidential information, establishes clear obligations for information handling, and provides legal remedies in case of breach. This document is fundamental for safeguarding business interests while enabling necessary information sharing in commercial relationships.
