Companies may have confidentiality agreements for a variety of reasons. These could be to protect their trade secrets or to ensure that you do not bring clients over if you leave their company. IBM even states online that "everyone who possesses IBM Confidential information is required to protect this information, whether it is in physical or electronic form." Talk to the interviewer about your thoughts on confidentiality agreements and express your willingness to sign one.

"I have a lot of integrity, and even though I have never been asked to sign one before, I stay true to my word and assume, unless otherwise specified, something disclosed to me should not be shared with anyone else. I am respectful and take others' privacy very seriously."
