Running a website from Airway Heights: the Washington rules

These are some of the Washington and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• Washington’s My Health My Data Act reaches any legal entity, of any size, that does business in Washington or targets Washington consumers and decides how consumer health data is collected, processed, shared or sold. A website that gathers anything about a visitor’s health – a symptom form, an appointment request for a clinic, a wellness quiz – needs a separate consumer health data privacy policy, consent before collecting, and authorization before selling. Small businesses (fewer than 100,000 consumers, or under 50% of revenue from health data and fewer than 25,000 consumers) had to comply from June 30, 2024. Chapter 19.373 RCW (Chapter 191, Laws of 2023)
• Doing business under a name other than the owner’s full legal name is one of the conditions that requires a Washington state business license, so the trade name is registered together with that license at the Department of Revenue. Official source
• A contact form collects personal information, and Washington has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. RCW 19.255.010
• Spokane County and the City of Airway Heights may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. Official source
• Washington’s state retail sales tax rate is 6.5%, with a local rate added depending on the city or county. Washington State Department of Revenue
