Document background
The Confidentiality Waiver is essential in situations where parties need to legally and safely disclose confidential information that is otherwise protected by existing confidentiality obligations. This document type is commonly used in Switzerland during due diligence processes, corporate transactions, regulatory investigations, or when sharing sensitive information with professional advisors. The waiver must comply with Swiss federal laws, including data protection regulations and the Code of Obligations. It provides a structured framework for managing confidential information disclosure while maintaining protection for information outside the waiver's scope. The document typically specifies what information can be disclosed, to whom, for what purpose, and for how long, making it a crucial tool for businesses operating under Swiss jurisdiction that need to share protected information in a controlled manner.
