What is meant by "not generally known?"
Information known to someone or known to non-competitors is still capable of being a trade secret. In fact, more than one competing company can claim trade secret rights in the same information independent of one another. Information generally known to one's competitors is not a trade secret.
Trade secret protection can be lost through publishing the secrets. Be careful in disclosing information if secrecy of the information is important. Trade secrets are often lost through disclosures in the absence of a confidentiality agreement.
