Companies will 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 on the occasion that you leave their company. Talk to the interviewer about your thoughts on confidentiality agreements.

"I never have, to my knowledge, broken a confidentiality agreement. Despite my reasons for leaving a position, I would never choose to hurt a previous employer in any way."

No, I have never broken a confidentiality agreement. I have handled a lot of personal information in my career and have kept the information confidential.

Excellent! If you have ever been bound by a confidentiality agreement, consider informing the interviewer. I would also suggest adding a statement indicating that you would have no issue signing a confidentiality agreement if required.
