The document is designed to protect proprietary information, trade secrets, and confidential data while ensuring compliance with Irish law and EU regulations. It should be used before engaging in detailed business discussions or commencing vendor relationships where confidential information will be shared. The agreement covers definition of confidential information, permitted uses, security measures, return or destruction requirements, and breach remedies. It incorporates requirements from Irish contract law, data protection legislation (including GDPR), and trade secrets regulations, making it suitable for both domestic Irish operations and international business relationships where Irish law governs.
