PrintA confidentiality agreement, or nondisclosure agreement (NDA), is used when one party is disclosing proprietary, confidential trade-secret information to another party and wants that information to remain confidential. Such agreements are indeed binding, and you must abide by all terms of the agreement. In all likelihood you are forbidden from disclosing any secrets covered by the agreement without the prior written consent of your former employer. Courts take these agreements very seriously, so it is in your best interest to keep quiet.
