At Adyen, we take privacy and confidentiality very seriously. Are you willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement, if hired?
Signing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is common in the software and technology industry. If hired, you will likely become privy to trade secrets, pending patents, and other innovative projects that must remain confidential. A non-disclosure agreement is a legal document that protects confidential information from being shared with third parties. It is often used in business settings when two parties are entering into a professional relationship and need to share sensitive information with each other. The NDA outlines the specific information to be kept confidential, the duration of the agreement, and the consequences for breaching the contract. By signing an NDA, both parties agree to keep the information confidential and to only use it for the intended purpose.
Talk to the interviewer about your willingness to sign an agreement. If you are currently under a non-disclosure or non-compete agreement with your present employer, now is the time to discuss that.
"I have signed non-disclosure agreements in the past, although I am not currently under one. I see the importance of agreements like this and am most willing to comply."
"I am happy to sign any privacy and confidentiality agreements you have. I understand the importance of keeping confidential information within the company, and would never share or disclose this information to others outside the workplace."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

To the point and straightforward. This is a good approach. If you are currently working in a role with sensitive information, you may want to mention whether you are in a current NDA or under any other restrictions.
