A note on legal compliance: depending on where your clients are located, you may have obligations under state-specific privacy laws (such as California's CCPA/CPRA) even if your venue is based in Idaho, since these laws are often triggered by the residency of the person whose data you collect, not just your business location. If you collect data from residents of states with specific privacy statutes, or if you ever expand to online payment processing, email marketing at scale, or run ads with tracking pixels, it's worth having an attorney confirm this policy covers your specific obligations.
