An NDA defines the boundaries of sharing information
Begin with what the other side will see and why, not a boundless statement that “everything is secret.” Confidentiality may be one-way or mutual, depending on who discloses information. This is an original organizing outline; Monshaat’s indicative model is a useful source for comparison, not text copied into this page.

Define the purpose and information
Name the project or conversation for which information is shared and give specific examples: unpublished pricing, client data, source code or a business plan. Distinguish these from public material or information the recipient had lawfully obtained before disclosure. Both sides can then understand what cannot be used outside the agreed purpose.
An opening passage to adapt
“[Disclosing party] shares [described information] with [receiving party] for [purpose]. The recipient uses it only for that purpose and does not disclose it to people who do not need it for that purpose for [period], excluding material publicly available without breach or proven lawfully known beforehand.”
This raises drafting questions; it does not determine enforceability. Replace the parties, period and exceptions with facts appropriate to the situation.
Test the form before signing
If both sides reveal information, ask whether duties should be mutual. If personal information, a cross-border arrangement or a large agreed remedy is involved, seek qualified review rather than relying on a generic form. Treaty offers an NDA quick start, clause review and PDF export for a completed agreement; it is not government notarization or legal counsel.
Frequently asked
Does an NDA keep everything secret forever?
No. Scope, purpose, duration and exceptions need to fit the real circumstances.
Does Treaty offer a Word download?
This passage can be copied into Word; a downloadable Treaty DOCX is not verified. A completed in-app agreement can export PDF.
Zayenha Treaty is a tool for organizing, understanding, and initially drafting agreements. It does not provide legal advice and is not a substitute for review by a qualified legal professional, especially for high-risk agreements or those with significant financial or regulatory impact.
