The Confidentiality Agreement is essential for businesses and individuals operating under Maltese jurisdiction who need to protect sensitive information during commercial discussions, employment relationships, or business transactions. This document is particularly relevant given Malta's position as a hub for financial services, gaming, and technology sectors, where protection of trade secrets and confidential information is crucial. The agreement ensures compliance with both Maltese law and EU regulations, including the Trade Secrets Act (Cap. 589) and GDPR where applicable. It is commonly used in scenarios such as business negotiations, employee onboarding, contractor engagements, potential investments, and commercial partnerships where sensitive information needs to be shared while maintaining strict confidentiality.
