Document background
This NDA Policy is designed to establish comprehensive guidelines for protecting an organization's confidential information within the Indian legal context. The policy becomes necessary when organizations need to systematically protect their trade secrets, intellectual property, and other sensitive information across all organizational levels. It serves as a master document that outlines how confidential information should be handled, stored, transmitted, and destroyed, while ensuring compliance with Indian legislation including the Contract Act, 1872, IT Act, 2000, and relevant common law principles. The NDA Policy is particularly crucial in today's digital age where information can be easily transferred and replicated, and should be implemented as part of the organization's core compliance and risk management framework. It provides clear guidelines for both domestic operations and international interactions while maintaining alignment with Indian legal requirements.
