Frequently asked questions
When do I need an NDA in Singapore?
You should use an NDA before sharing sensitive information with employees, contractors, business partners, or potential investors.
What is the difference between a one-way and mutual NDA?
A one-way (unilateral) NDA protects information shared by one party only. A mutual NDA protects both parties, useful when both sides are sharing confidential information with each other.
Does the Personal Data Protection Act affect my NDA?
If the confidential information includes personal data, your NDA should work alongside your obligations under the PDPA rather than replace them.
How long does an NDA last in Singapore?
It depends on the agreement. Many Singapore NDAs last 2 to 5 years, though trade secret provisions can be drafted to continue indefinitely.
What happens if someone breaks an NDA in Singapore?
The party that breaks the NDA can face legal action for breach of contract, including a claim for damages or an injunction to stop further disclosure.
What counts as confidential information in an NDA?
It typically includes business plans, financial data, customer lists, pricing, product ideas, software code, and anything else you would not want made public.
