Rules that apply to a Port Orford business website

Some homework before launch:

• Oregon has no general sales or use/transaction tax, so there is nothing to collect on ordinary online sales. The only close relatives are the vehicle use tax and vehicle privilege tax on new vehicles. Oregon Department of Revenue
• A contact form collects personal information, and Oregon has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Oregon Consumer Information Protection Act (OCIPA), ORS 646A.600 to 646A.628

Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
