The Intern Confidentiality Agreement is a crucial document for organizations operating in Pakistan that engage interns in roles where they may access sensitive information. This agreement becomes necessary when interns are exposed to proprietary information, trade secrets, client data, or other confidential materials during their internship period. It ensures compliance with Pakistani legislation, including the Contract Act 1872 and relevant data protection laws, while providing organizations with legal recourse in case of unauthorized disclosure. The document is particularly important given the increasing number of internship programs in Pakistan and the need to protect intellectual property in an increasingly digital workplace. This agreement should be implemented before the intern begins their engagement and maintains certain obligations even after the internship concludes.
