Website rules that apply in Potomac, Maryland
- Privacy
- Maryland has a consumer data privacy law, the Maryland Online Data Privacy Act (MODPA), in effect since October 1, 2025. Applies only to businesses that do business in Maryland or target Maryland residents and, in the prior year, handled the personal data of at least 35,000 Marylanders, or at least 10,000 while earning more than 20% of gross 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
- Maryland requires businesses to notify people when certain personal information is exposed (Maryland Personal Information Protection Act (Md. Code, Com. Law 14-3501 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
- Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation (Maryland Business Express) 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.
