What does it do?
An NDA gate puts an agreement in front of a link or data room. With the signed (advanced) mode, the visitor signs the NDA in Peony, and only then sees the content. Each signature is recorded with a timestamp, IP address and a verification hash.
Who is it for?
Sell-side advisors sending teasers and CIMs to buyers, companies sharing confidential plans with partners, and founders who require an NDA before a data room opens.
How does it work?
- Upload your NDA or pick a template.
- Turn on the NDA gate on a link or data room and choose acknowledge-only or signed.
- Visitors sign before access; signed copies appear in the Signatures view.
Follow-ups: NDA analytics (February 9, 2026), an Initial field type for agreements (March 7, 2026) and an in-app PDF viewer for reading the NDA before signing (March 12, 2026).
Which plans include it?
The acknowledge-only NDA is on Business and above. The signed NDA with PDF and audit log is on Data Room and above. E-signatures are limited to 3 per month on Free and unlimited on paid plans. See pricing.
How does it compare?
Many teams combine a separate e-signature tool with a data room. Peony signs the NDA in the same flow that grants access, so access and the signature record stay together.
