In light of recent events, let's fire off a quick NSIP's Tips thread about NDA's and discretion.
If you're under NDA, it's pretty easy to understand that you're bound to keep material and information secret.
But what about when you're NOT under NDA…?

If you're being given a private opportunity on a project but you haven't signed an NDA, you still have to use your better judgement about disclosing anything to anyone.
Not being given an NDA =/= the other person/client not caring if you leak content or material!

In the age of self-promotion and social media, the temptation is always there to take any opportunity to look valuable to others.
But if you don't act professionally/accordingly to the situation, you stand to lose a lot in the long-term.

Breaking NDA's/the privacy and trust of your client is highly inadvisable! But this thread is just scratching the surface of the issue.
