Pennsylvania rules to know before your website goes live

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

  • 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. Breach of Personal Information Notification Act, 73 P.S. §§ 2301 to 2329 (Act 94 of 2005, amended by Act 151 of 2022 and Act 33 of 2024)
  • 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
  • Check with both Westmoreland County and the Borough of East Vandergrift about local business tax receipts before opening. Official source
