Mutual NDA template

When a project involves sensitive information, a short mutual NDA sets the ground rules for keeping it private — before you share anything.

A non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is a promise to keep shared information confidential. Freelancers meet them when a client shares business plans, data, or unreleased products.

This is a simple mutual NDA, meaning both sides protect each other’s confidential information. Copy it, fill in the details, and use it before sensitive information changes hands.

Keep the “Purpose” specific so the NDA isn’t overly broad.
