How does Gartner handle Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and information under embargo?
Gartner policy discourages the use of formal NDAs. However, analysts will keep strategic background information confidential and will embargo news pending an announcement or press release. Vendors should be specific about what information should be embargoed, for how long and how the analyst will know that the embargo has been lifted. Information imparted during briefings is considered public, unless specifically cited as confidential or embargoed until a specific date.
