The legal basics for Roseburg businesses online

A few rules apply to any Roseburg business that sells or advertises online:

• A trade name has to be your legal name or an assumed business name (ABN) registered with Oregon. ORS Chapter 648 (Assumed Business Names); OAR 160.010
• Newsletters and promotions sent from your business email must include a working way to unsubscribe (16 CFR Part 316). 16 CFR Part 316
• 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
• The Oregon Consumer Privacy Act (OCPA) exists, but its thresholds are high: Applies to a person that conducts business in Oregon, or provides products or services to Oregon residents, and that controls or processes the personal data of at least 100,000 consumers, or the personal data of 25,000 or more consumers while deriving over 25% of annual gross revenue from the sale of personal data. A typical small business is outside the Act. Nonprofits came in on July 1, 2025. From January 1, 2026 controllers must honor opt-out preference signals and may not sell the data of a consumer under 16, and the Attorney General no longer has to give a cure period. Enforcement is by the Oregon DOJ only; there is no private right of action. ORS 646A.570 to 646A.589 (SB 619, 2023; amended by HB 3875, 2025)
