Can I disclose personal information for a business purpose without complying with CCPA in West Virginia? What are the requirements?

Disclosure of Personal Information for Business Purpose in West Virginia

West Virginia does not have a specific law or regulation that exempts businesses from complying with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) when disclosing personal information for a business purpose. However, businesses must comply with the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act, which requires businesses to take reasonable measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, acquisition, or disclosure [1.1].

Additionally, the West Virginia Personal Exemptions Of A Nonresident Individual law allows nonresident individuals to claim the same number of personal exemptions for state income tax purposes as for federal income tax purposes. A nonresident individual shall be permitted the same West Virginia exemptions as are permitted under W. Va. Code ‘11-21-16 and Section 16 of these regulations provided that such exemptions shall be the product of the amount allowed as a personal exemption for a West Virginia resident multiplied by the ratio which the nonresident’s West Virginia source income bears to that nonresident individual’s federal adjusted gross income for the taxable year [1.5].

It is recommended that businesses consult with legal counsel to ensure compliance with all applicable data privacy laws and regulations in West Virginia and other relevant jurisdictions [1.1].

Therefore, businesses must comply with the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act when disclosing personal information for a business purpose in West Virginia.
