 {{Confidential information}}
+===Written or oral===
+For purely practical reasons, resist the urge to include orally transmitted information. Especially in a service-provider - client relationship, and especially if you are the service provider receiving the information — it gives your client a free, and hard to disprove option to claim anything at all that they want to keep secret is something "I told you, remember?". It may also interfere with service provider's ability to claim it had prior possession of the information (and therefore the information is out of scope of the confidentiality obligation altogether).
+Now chaps, really: — if data<ref>i.e., [[Intellectual property|material you don’t own]], right?</ref> is valuable enough for you to require an “injunctionable” right to stop me using it, it must be valuable enough for you to be bothered confirming in writing. If you do that you put beyond argument the fact that you ''did'' communicate it to me, and ''when''.
