Website rules that apply in West Virginia
- Privacy
- West Virginia 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
- West Virginia requires businesses to notify people when certain personal information is exposed (W. Va. Code 46A-2A-101 et seq. (breach of security of consumer information)). 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
- West Virginia 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.
