Document background
The Intern Confidentiality Agreement is essential for organizations in the Netherlands that engage interns who will have access to sensitive company information. This document ensures compliance with Dutch employment law, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the Dutch Trade Secrets Protection Act. It should be used whenever an intern starts their placement and will have access to confidential information, intellectual property, or sensitive data. The agreement typically includes provisions for protecting company information, defining confidentiality obligations, establishing intellectual property rights, and ensuring proper data handling practices. It's particularly important in the Dutch context where intern rights and obligations are specifically regulated, and where data protection requirements are stringent under EU law.
