Website rules that apply in Shelby County, Alabama
- Privacy
- Alabama has a consumer data privacy law, the Alabama Personal Data Protection Act (HB 351), passed but not in effect until May 1, 2027. Signed April 17, 2026; it will apply only to businesses that do business in Alabama or target Alabama residents and either handle the personal data of more than a set number of Alabama consumers or earn a set share of revenue from selling personal data. 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
- Alabama requires businesses to notify people when certain personal information is exposed (Alabama Data Breach Notification Act of 2018 (Ala. Code 8-38-1 et seq.)). 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
- Alabama Secretary of State 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.
