What Pennsylvania asks of a business with a website

Some homework before launch:

• Municipal requirements are separate: check with the local municipality about taxes, zoning requirements, local licenses and permits. In Tioga, that means asking Tioga County and the Borough of Tioga. Official source
• 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
• An entity that maintains, stores or manages computerized data including personal information must notify any Pennsylvania resident whose unencrypted and unredacted personal information was, or is reasonably believed to have been, accessed and acquired by an unauthorized person. Breaches affecting more than 500 Pennsylvania residents must also be reported to the Attorney General at the same time; more than 500 people notified at once also triggers notice to the nationwide consumer reporting agencies. Where a Social Security, driver’s license, state ID or bank account number was exposed, twelve months of credit reporting and monitoring must be offered. 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)
