Employment Contract Confidentiality Explained

Summary

The term Confidential Information in your employment contract includes work-related data and creations. It does not automatically grant the company ownership of artistic works you create outside of work unless specified in your contract. Review your employment contract for any clauses related to intellectual property or creative work ownership to ensure clarity.

Does it mean anything I create artistically while I'm employed with the company, like my non-work related creativity?
In Ontario, any artistic creation you make that's unrelated to your work duties typically belongs to you, unless your employment contract states otherwise. Review your contract for any clauses about intellectual property or creative work ownership to ensure clarity.
Does this clause give the company ownership of my artistic creations that I make outside of work? "*. Scope of Confidential Information For the sake of clarity, you acknowledge and agree that Confidential Information includes: any and all data and information of any type whatsoever directly or indirectly provided by Task in connection with your performance of the Labeling Services or related to us; all of your Work Product and all associated records; the nature and scope of your Labeling Services; and any and all data and information generated or obtained by or on behalf of you that contains, reflects, or is derived from any of the foregoing, whether written, oral, graphic, electronic or any other form, and whether disclosed, generated or obtained before or after the Effective Date (as defined in the ToU)."
The clause you provided seems to cover "Confidential Information" related to your work tasks, not necessarily ownership of your artistic creations made outside of work. However, if your employment contract contains specific clauses about intellectual property or creations made during or outside work hours, those would be relevant. It's essential to review your entire employment contract for any terms regarding ownership of creative work.
