CONFIDENTIALITY & NON-CIRCUMVENTION

OPERATIVE PROTOCOL · ENFORCED IN THE DATABASE · INSTRUMENTS SUBJECT TO COUNSEL SETTLEMENT
Enforced by architecture, not honour

Three protections operate mechanically, before any legal remedy is needed: (i) symmetric disclosure — neither party’s information is ever shown one-sided; packets are escrowed and released simultaneously, level by level, only under an accepted, hash-anchored NCNDA; (ii) the contact firewall — contact details posted in a deal room before full disclosure are redacted at write time and logged; (iii) the provenance ledger — every introduction and entitlement is permanently recorded, so an introducer’s economics cannot be erased by exclusion from a conversation.

The standing rule of the network

Every deal room operates under masked identities. Counterparties appear as aliases until each participant has accepted the room’s non-circumvention and confidentiality instrument — an acceptance recorded immutably with a cryptographic hash of the exact text agreed. The unmasking control is enforced by the platform’s database itself: disclosure is technically impossible before acceptance is on record, and every disclosure is written as a permanent event.

What members commit to
  1. No circumvention. Members shall not bypass, or attempt to bypass, the introducing parties or the platform in any transaction whose parties were revealed to them through GECAN.
  2. No disclosure. Deal-room information — identities, terms, documents, procedures — is confidential and may not be shared outside the room.
  3. Ledgered introductions. Every introduction is permanently recorded; commission entitlements arising from it are ledgered and instrument-linked, so honest work is provable and protected.
  4. Reporting. Suspected circumvention may be reported in-platform; confirmed findings become part of the offender’s permanent record and are actionable under the accepted instruments.
  5. Survival. Confidentiality and non-circumvention obligations survive the closing, collapse, or withdrawal of any deal, per the accepted instrument’s term.
Alignment with international practice

GECAN’s instruments are structured with reference to internationally recognized NCNDA/IMFPA practice, including ICC-aligned frameworks, adapted per deal and per jurisdiction. Instruments are templates requiring review by qualified counsel; GECAN provides tooling and record-keeping, not legal advice.
