What should you not include in your client portfolio?

• A. Clients professional information
• B. Personal hobbies of the client
• C. Photos of work
• D. Contact information

Answer: (A)

Protecting client confidentiality is the main idea. A portfolio is a showcase of your work, not a repository for private or sensitive client details. Publishing a client’s professional information without explicit permission can reveal confidential business data, contracts, pricing, or strategies and undermine trust. Those kinds of details should be kept private unless the client has consented to share them. In contrast, showing photos of the actual work you produced is exactly what a portfolio is for, and you should present that work with consent. You’ll typically use your own contact information for inquiries, not the client’s, and personal hobbies of the client are not needed unless the client explicitly agrees to include them and it adds value.
