Hi Toni,
What has worked quite well for me is the following:
1. Stuff I know is confidential and shouldn't even ask the client, I
keep only for interviews. I strip it of company confidential info and
remove any critical or proprietary information - but keep everything else.
2. I have received permission from some clients, and I make it available
via my online portfolio.
3. Some clients give permission to post, but with identifying info
removed. So I do the same as 1 above, and then upload it to my online
portfolio.
