We created this unilateral confidentiality letter template for situations where there are two parties, and one party wishes to disclose confidential information to the other party.

Under the terms of the confidentiality letter, the recipient of the confidential information gives various confidentiality undertakings, including the following: to keep the information confidential and not disclose it to any person without the disclosor's consent; to act in good faith in relation to the confidential information, and to use it only for the agreed purposes; to use at least reasonable care to ensure that the confidential information is protected from unauthorised disclosure; and to advise the disclosor in the event of an unauthorised disclosure.

The substantial terms are identical to those in our standard unilateral confidentiality agreement template; only the form differs. This template is an extended version of our simple letter of confidentiality template.

The confidentiality letter includes these sections:

> Definitions and interpretation
> Term
> Confidentiality obligations
> Warranties
> Indemnity
> Data protection
> Publicity
> Termination
> General

This letter is 8 pages long (including the cover page), and is supplied in Word (.doc) format. You can review the first few sections of the confidentiality letter here:
