Before you publish: Montana and federal rules

Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but these apply to most Valier businesses:

• The Montana Consumer Data Privacy Act exists, but its thresholds are high: Businesses doing business in Montana or targeting Montana residents that control or process the personal data of not less than 25,000 consumers (excluding data processed solely to complete a payment transaction), or of not less than 15,000 consumers while deriving more than 25% of gross revenue from selling personal data. The 2025 amendment LOWERED these thresholds (they were 50,000 and 25,000 before). Montana’s 25,000-consumer threshold is now among the lowest in the country, and Montana’s population is small, so a business with a real Montana customer base should check. Three sections (30-14-2811, 30-14-2818 and 30-14-2819 — the minor/teen provisions) apply to ANY business targeting Montana residents, with no threshold at all. Mont. Code Ann. Title 30, chapter 14, part 28 (SB 384, 2023; amended by Ch. 567, L. 2025 / SB 297)
