Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need an NDA for employees?

Employees often access sensitive information including client lists, financial data, product roadmaps, and trade secrets. An employee NDA establishes clear confidentiality obligations and legal recourse if information is disclosed without authorization.

When should employees sign an NDA?

Ideally during onboarding before they access any confidential information. You can also use NDAs when an employee transitions to a role with more sensitive access, or when a project involves particularly confidential data.

Is an employee NDA the same as a non-compete agreement?

No. An NDA restricts disclosure of confidential information. A non-compete restricts where an employee can work after leaving. These are separate agreements with different legal standards. Vindato creates NDAs, not non-compete agreements.

Can I use the same NDA for multiple employees?

Each NDA is unique to the signing parties and requires individual signatures. However, you can create multiple NDAs quickly using the same configuration — just change the employee details for each one.

What information should an employee NDA cover?

Common categories include: client information, internal pricing, business processes, product roadmaps, marketing strategies, software access credentials, proprietary documents, financial data, and trade secrets.

How long does an employee NDA last?

You choose the term. Common durations are 1-3 years during employment plus 1-2 years of survival after termination. Trade secrets may be protected indefinitely. Vindato lets you customize both the active term and the post-termination period.
