Template:Nda Exclusions from confidential information summ

The usual run of things is to state what confidential information is — anything whatsoever that I give you — and then set out the laundry list of things I give you which don’t, after all, count as being confidential. These are state-the-bleeding obvious things like “information that is public,” “information I already knew,” “information I found out from someone else,” and information that I also developed myself, without copying your information.

Note: it does not include “information I have become obliged to disclose to a regulator”, which is a common term in a substandard NDA. That is, rather, a Receiver's limited entitlement to share information that otherwise remains confidential.
