How to audit the confidentiality terms of your non-disclosure agreements?

Confidentiality terms determine how long sensitive information remains protected and whether disclosures are still covered. TextMine helps legal and compliance teams extract NDA duration, purpose, permitted recipients, residual obligations, carve-outs, and expiry dates with evidence.

Extract NDA obligations

What is the confidentiality term of an NDA?

The confidentiality term defines how long the recipient must protect confidential information. It may run from the effective date, from each disclosure date, until information becomes public, or indefinitely for trade secrets and highly sensitive information.

Tracking the term matters because expired protection can affect disclosure decisions, deal processes, partnership discussions, and compliance reviews.

Why are confidentiality terms hard to track?

NDAs do not always state a simple expiry date. The duration may depend on the effective date, disclosure date, survival clause, type of information, or separate termination provision. Some terms survive for a fixed number of years while others survive indefinitely.

TextMine extracts the term and the conditions behind it, then links the result to source evidence so legal teams can rely on the answer.

How does TextMine automate NDA confidentiality tracking?

Vault extracts effective date, purpose, confidentiality term, survival language, permitted disclosure groups, governing law, and expiry logic. Workflows can notify legal when an NDA is close to expiry or when protection is unclear.

Records can store approved NDA facts so commercial and legal teams can check disclosure status without re-reading each agreement.
