Website rules that apply in Amherst, New Hampshire
- Privacy
- New Hampshire has a consumer data privacy law, the New Hampshire Data Privacy Act (RSA 507-H), in effect since January 1, 2025. Applies to businesses that engage in trade or commerce in New Hampshire and handle residents' personal data, subject to coverage thresholds in the statute, so many small businesses fall outside it. 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
- New Hampshire requires businesses to notify people when certain personal information is exposed (RSA 359-C:19 to 359-C:21 (notice of security breach)). 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
- New Hampshire Department of State, Corporation Division (QuickStart) 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.
