"I've been less clear than I need to be about this. More plainly put,
when an IT manager comes back to the office and reports NDA
information he or she has heard to other IT staff, top management of
their company, or to colleagues in other offices, nobody at Interex
will complain. Who will know, and then implement the enforcement?
Interex expects this kind of illegal nondisclosure to happen."

I've understood a nondisclosure agreement to cover not only the person who
signed the statement and receives the information, but that person's
company. Therefore, the IT manager, who is not attending a meeting as a
private individual may feel free to tell his/her colleagues back at the
office what was said. Of course, this IT manager should remind his/her
associates that the information is under the nondisclosure agreement.
Accordingly, this practice is not illegal.

Our company imparts certain confidential information to vendors under
nondisclosure agreements. We certainly do not expect that person who
received the information will not share it with his/her colleagues.

Have I misunderstood?
