Q: What are the exceptions to NDA?

Ans:  The question arises here is who will take precedence over NDA. An NDA ensures that your information is kept private and secure, however, there may be some exceptions. For instance, a person who is obligated to keep material confidential may be ordered by a court to reveal it and in this case, the valid order of the court will, of course, take precedence over the NDA’s responsibilities. Also, if the individual already has such knowledge or receives it from another source, he may not be bound by the NDA not to disclose it to anyone else. Furthermore, a question of policy or national security will take precedence over the NDA.
