Document background
The Unpaid Intern Confidentiality Agreement is essential for organizations in the United States that engage unpaid interns and need to protect sensitive information. This document ensures compliance with both federal and state labor laws while safeguarding proprietary information, trade secrets, and intellectual property. It's particularly crucial when interns have access to confidential business strategies, customer data, or proprietary technologies. The agreement should be implemented at the start of the internship and typically includes provisions for confidentiality obligations, permitted uses of information, return of materials, and post-internship obligations.
