Website rules that apply in New York
- Privacy
- New York has not passed a broad consumer data privacy law of the kind several other states have. No comprehensive consumer data privacy law was in force or enacted as of October 2026. Federal rules and the laws of the states where your customers live can still apply. Either way, a clear privacy page that says what your forms and analytics collect is good practice.
- Data breach notice
- New York requires businesses to notify people when certain personal information is exposed (General Business Law 899-aa (as expanded by the SHIELD Act)). 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 York Department of State, Division of Corporations 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.

Before you build
Naming and registering a business in New York
In New York, sole proprietors and partnerships who use a name other than their own file an assumed name certificate with the County Clerk, under General Business Law Section 130 (Genesee County's clerk describes the rule on its site). Limited liability companies and limited liability partnerships register with the Department of State instead, not the County Clerk.
A newly formed the state LLC must also run a formation notice in two newspapers, one daily and one weekly, for six weeks in a row in the county where it is located, under Section 206 of the Limited Liability Company Law. That is a real cost and timeline to plan around, so ask your lawyer or the County Clerk before you set a launch date.
Why it matters for a website: the name that appears on your site and Google Business Profile should match the one you registered, whether that is an assumed name or the LLC's legal name.
Official sources, read October 2026: Genesee County Clerk: business names, corporations, DBAs, LLCs, LLPs. Rules and fees change, so confirm with the agency. This is general information, not legal or tax advice.
