What Maryland asks of a business with a website

Some homework before launch:

• A business that owns, licenses or maintains computerized data with personal information of a Maryland resident must investigate any breach in good faith and, unless it reasonably determines there is no likelihood of misuse, notify the affected individual no later than 45 days after discovering the breach. Md. Code, Commercial Law §14-3504 (Maryland Personal Information Protection Act)
• Maryland’s sales and use tax rate is 6% (6 cents on each dollar). There are no local sales taxes in Maryland. Comptroller of Maryland
