A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is a legal document between two or more parties outlining the disclosure of sensitive, confidential or otherwise copy-written material to stay between the participants and to not be released to the public or other parties.
In terms of using an NDA for our course projects these would only become applicable if we were to use outside sources for aid in production; for example, if we were to hire external participants like voice actors, programmers, musicians and other artists/creatives then we would have to make them sign a NDA.
Having the involved parties sign this document basically makes either side liable for any leak of information that is otherwise considered sensitive; so essentially it’s a safety net for the creatives in charge of the project.
