Before you publish: Arizona and federal rules

Some homework before launch:

• Under ADA Title III, a business open to the public should make its website usable by people with disabilities, according to the Justice Department’s guidance. ADA.gov guidance
• A business that owns or licenses unencrypted computerized personal information about Arizona residents must investigate a suspected breach and, once a breach is confirmed, notify affected individuals within 45 days. A.R.S. 18-552 (Notification of security system breaches)
• Arizona taxes retail sales through the transaction privilege tax: 5% under A.R.S. 42-5010 plus a 0.6% increment under A.R.S. 42-5010.01, for a 5.6% state rate, and counties and cities add their own rates. Arizona Department of Revenue

Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
