Running a website from Freedom: the Pennsylvania rules

These are some of the Pennsylvania and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• A contact form collects personal information, and Pennsylvania has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Breach of Personal Information Notification Act, 73 P.S. §§ 2301 to 2329 (Act 94 of 2005, amended by Act 151 of 2022 and Act 33 of 2024)
• The Pennsylvania sales tax rate is 6 percent. Only two local add-ons exist: 1 percent in Allegheny County and 2 percent in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania Department of Revenue
• Municipal requirements are separate: check with the local municipality about taxes, zoning requirements, local licenses and permits. In Freedom, that means asking Beaver County and the Borough of Freedom. Official source
