Oregon Website Compliance Requirements

high risk

Oregon's OCPA establishes comprehensive privacy rights similar to Connecticut's, with the key innovation that consumers can request a list of the SPECIFIC third parties to whom their data has been disclosed (not just categories).

Last reviewed 2026-06-19 · Risk rating rationale: 100,000-consumer threshold catches most national websites. The named-third-party disclosure right is more burdensome than other state laws.

Oregon compliance by topic

Consumer data protection

State-specific rule applies

What your site has to disclose, ask consent for, and allow consumers to do with their personal information.

OCPA's specific-third-party disclosure right is unusual — most state laws require only category-level disclosure.

Practical requirements for your website

  • Maintain a list of named third parties for the "specific recipients" disclosure request
  • Respond to rights requests within 45 days
  • Privacy notice listing categories + sources + purposes + categories of third parties (and a path to the specific list on request)

When you need consent, opt-outs, or universal-signal honor for cookies and analytics scripts.

No cookie banner mandate, but GPC must be honoured for targeted ads.

Practical requirements for your website

Which AI uses the state has chosen to regulate, who's covered, and what the website has to disclose.

Frequently asked questions about Oregon website compliance

What's special about the Oregon 'specific third party' disclosure right?
Unlike Virginia, Colorado, and Connecticut — which require disclosure of CATEGORIES of third parties — Oregon lets consumers ask for the actual NAMES of the third parties to whom their data has been disclosed. This requires maintaining a real-time data-sharing registry, which is operationally heavier than category-only laws.
Are non-profits subject to OCPA?
OCPA exempts non-profits in some circumstances but not blanket — specifically, non-profits that process personal data 'in connection with' a domestic violence shelter or victim-services activity get specific exemptions. Most other non-profits ARE subject if they meet the thresholds. Confirm with counsel.
