Document background
The Confidentiality Agreement For Volunteers is essential for organizations in Germany that engage volunteers and need to protect sensitive information, intellectual property, and personal data. This document is particularly relevant in the context of German legal requirements, including the GDPR, BDSG, and German Civil Code provisions. It should be used whenever volunteers may have access to confidential information, trade secrets, or personal data during their service. The agreement balances the organization's need for information security with the informal nature of volunteer relationships, providing clear guidelines while maintaining compliance with German volunteer service regulations. It includes specific provisions for data protection, information handling, and post-service obligations, making it suitable for both short-term and long-term volunteer engagements.
