Project Confidentiality & NDA

How to start a confidential discussion

Many of our tasks involve existing equipment, unpublished products or design data, so a non-disclosure agreement is usually signed before technical information is shared.

1. Describe the task in general terms and say that it is confidential: by email to info@microdigitalcorp.com with the subject [LEGAL], or in the project enquiry form.
2. We send a mutual NDA, or review your company’s NDA if you prefer to use it.
3. The NDA is signed electronically or by exchanging signed scanned copies.
4. You then share the technical files, samples or documentation.

Before the NDA

A general description of the task, the type of equipment and the result you need is enough for us to say whether the task fits our scope. Please do not send schematics, source code, drawings or other confidential material before the NDA is signed.

How we handle confidential information

• Access is limited to the people working on your project.
• The information is used only for the project.
• At the end of the project, or at your request, materials are returned or deleted as agreed in the NDA.
• Client work is published as an engineering example only with your permission and to the extent you agree, see Engineering projects.
