Document background
An Amendment To Confidentiality Agreement is essential when parties need to modify their existing confidentiality arrangements under Philippine law. This document is typically used when circumstances change, such as when new parties need to be added, the scope of confidential information needs to be expanded, duration needs to be extended, or compliance requirements evolve. The amendment must comply with Philippine contract law principles, including the Civil Code (Republic Act No. 386) and the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173). It's particularly important in business relationships where the nature or scope of shared confidential information has changed, or when regulatory updates require modifications to existing confidentiality provisions. The document ensures continuity of confidentiality obligations while incorporating necessary changes to the original agreement.
