A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same North Dakota rules as any other.

• Any person that owns or licenses computerized data including personal information must disclose a breach of the security system to any North Dakota resident whose unencrypted personal information was, or is reasonably believed to have been, acquired by an unauthorized person, and must also notify the Attorney General when the breach exceeds 250 individuals. N.D.C.C. ch. 51-30 (Notice of Security Breach for Personal Information), § 51-30-02
• North Dakota’s state sales tax rate is 5% for most retail sales, and cities and counties may levy their own sales and use taxes on top of it. North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner
