Website rules that apply in Richmond, Virginia
- Privacy
- Virginia has a consumer data privacy law, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), in effect since January 1, 2023. Applies only to businesses that target Virginia consumers and control or process the personal data of at least 100,000 consumers, or at least 25,000 while getting over half of gross revenue from selling personal data; nonprofits are not covered. Whether it covers you depends on your size and what you collect, so check the source or ask a lawyer. Either way, a clear privacy page that says what your forms and analytics collect is good practice.
- Data breach notice
- Virginia requires businesses to notify people when certain personal information is exposed (Va. Code 18.2-186.6 (breach of personal information notification)). A site that only collects names and emails through a form keeps that risk small; it is a reason not to collect more than you need.
- Your registered name
- Virginia State Corporation Commission, Clerk's Information System keeps the official record of business names. The name you registered is the one that should appear on your site, your Google Business Profile and every directory, word for word. You can check it in the state's business search.
