Document background
The Executive Confidentiality Agreement is essential for organizations operating under Dutch law that need to protect sensitive corporate information at the highest levels of management. This document is typically used when appointing new executive-level employees or updating agreements with existing executives to ensure comprehensive protection of confidential information, trade secrets, and intellectual property. It incorporates requirements from Dutch employment law, the EU Trade Secrets Directive as implemented in Dutch law, and data protection regulations. The agreement is particularly important given the increased access to sensitive information that executives typically have and the potential impact of unauthorized disclosure on company operations and competitive position.
