Privacy Policy

Effective as of: June 5, 2025

At Freelance Insider, we believe in keeping things simple, honest, and respectful, especially when it comes to your personal information.

We do not sell data. We do not run ads. This platform exists to support freelancers, not to collect or profit from your data. We only gather what is necessary to operate the site, improve the experience, and offer meaningful ways to participate.

What We Collect

We only collect personal information when you choose to share it with us. Right now, this happens primarily through the Freelance Spotlight submission form. In that form, you may be asked to provide your name, email address, LinkedIn profile, and information about your freelance work or story.

This allows us to review submissions, follow up with selected contributors, and prepare features that reflect real freelance experiences. We may add new submission or contact forms in the future, and if so, those forms will make it clear what information is being collected and why.

We also use basic website analytics provided by our hosting platform, Hostinger. This includes general data such as:

• Total page views

• Unique page views

• Device type (mobile or desktop)

• Country or region

This data is collected automatically and is not linked to individual identities. We use it to understand how visitors engage with the site so we can continue improving the overall experience.

How We Use Your Information

If you submit your information for a Spotlight feature and are selected, we will contact you using the email or LinkedIn profile you provided. We may request additional content such as expanded answers, a high-quality photo, or updates to your original submission.

We use the information you provide only for the purpose stated, reviewing and potentially publishing your submission. We do not share, rent, or sell your personal information to any third parties. We do not send marketing emails or newsletters unless you have clearly and knowingly opted in.

Data Security

We take data protection seriously. While no online platform can be perfectly secure, we follow industry best practices to store any personal data responsibly and minimize access to it. Access to submission data is limited to the Freelance Insider team and is used only for editorial or communication purposes related to the content you’ve submitted.

If any security risks or data issues arise, we will communicate transparently and take action to protect user privacy to the best of our ability.

Your Rights

You have the right to access, update, or delete any personal information you’ve shared with us. If at any point you wish to withdraw a submission, request a correction, or remove your information entirely, you can contact us at contact@freelanceinsider.net. We’ll respond as quickly as possible and handle your request with care and respect.

We are here to support freelancers, not to make things complicated. If you have any questions about how your data is handled, please don't hesitate to contact us directly.

Final Note

By using the Freelance Insider website, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy. If we make any meaningful changes to how personal information is collected or used, we will update this page and include the date of revision.

Our goal is to maintain this space as useful, transparent, and built on trust, just as the freelance community it serves.
