Freelancers and agencies handle client data as part of service delivery β including client business information, project files, and communication records. Your privacy policy needs to address how you store client materials, who in your team has access, and how you handle data when a client relationship ends. The United States has a sectoral approach to data privacy β no single federal law covers all businesses, but multiple laws apply depending on your industry and the data you collect.

The United States has a sectoral approach to data privacy β no single federal law covers all businesses, but multiple laws apply depending on your industry and the data you collect. Key federal laws include COPPA (children's data), HIPAA (health data), GLBA (financial data), and CAN-SPAM (email marketing). FTC enforcement can result in significant penalties for deceptive data practices.

Data typically collected by Freelancer / Agency businesses: client contact info, project files and deliverables, communication history, payment details, portfolio usage permissions
A Cookie Policy is best practice for US, even if not strictly mandated. It demonstrates transparency and builds user trust. For Freelancer / Agency businesses using analytics or advertising tools, it is strongly recommended.
A typical Freelancer / Agency website uses: essential session cookies, analytics cookies (Google Analytics, etc.), functional preference cookies, and marketing/advertising cookies if you run paid campaigns. Each type must be disclosed in your Cookie Policy with its purpose.
Under US, a Cookie Policy alone is not sufficient. A consent mechanism is recommended for analytics and marketing cookies to align with global privacy best practices.
