It doesn't have a legal standing, if that's what you mean.

It is simply an agreement held amongst those attending a meeting where some level of confidentiality is desired, or where a standard of confidentiality is routinely expected within an organisation. For example the recent Fianna Fail leadership meeting would have been held along these lines.
