• An entity that maintains, stores or manages computerized data including personal information must notify any Pennsylvania resident whose unencrypted and unredacted personal information was, or is reasonably believed to have been, accessed and acquired by an unauthorized person. Breaches affecting more than 500 Pennsylvania residents must also be reported to the Attorney General at the same time; more than 500 people notified at once also triggers notice to the nationwide consumer reporting agencies. Where a Social Security, driver’s license, state ID or bank account number was exposed, twelve months of credit reporting and monitoring must be offered.

• The Pennsylvania sales tax rate is 6 percent. Only two local add-ons exist: 1 percent in Allegheny County and 2 percent in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania Department of Revenue
• Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses open to the public must make their goods and services accessible to people with disabilities, and the Justice Department’s guidance says that includes their websites. ADA.gov guidance
• Municipal requirements are separate: check with the local municipality about taxes, zoning requirements, local licenses and permits. In Catasauqua, that means asking Lehigh County and the Borough of Catasauqua. Official source
