Everything a US small business needs to figure out which state privacy laws apply to it — the applicability tests, a 24-state threshold matrix, a step-by-step 2027 readiness system, checklists, and ready-to-use templates. No vendor pitch. No legalese without a translation.

Five modules that take you from "I have no idea if these laws apply to me" to a clear answer and a concrete to-do list. Written for business owners, not compliance departments.
The entry point and the most important part. Plain-English walkthroughs of the threshold tests states use — revenue cutoffs, customer counts, "doing business in the state" rules — plus a worked example for a typical small business. Includes the honest outcome: if you're under every threshold, the pack tells you so and tells you exactly what would change that.
Every state with a comprehensive privacy law on one spread: thresholds, exemptions (including Texas's small-business exemption), effective dates, and the fine print that matters to businesses your size. The included spreadsheet version is sortable and updated every January.
A month-by-month plan for the states going live in 2027: Oklahoma and Louisiana on January 1, Alabama on May 1. What each new law requires, in what order to tackle it, and a realistic timeline for a one-person or small-team business with no legal department.
The operational to-do list if you are covered: consumer-rights requests (access, delete, correct), opt-out handling, privacy notices that say what the law requires, and data-security basics proportionate to a small business.
Fill-in documents you can start using the same day: a privacy-notice starter template, a consumer-request log, a one-page data-mapping worksheet, and the "Am I covered?" decision flowchart. Plus the state-matrix spreadsheet.
2027 Deadline Calendar (PDF). A printable wall-style calendar with the Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Alabama effective dates marked and your prep milestones mapped backward from each one.
"Am I Covered?" decision flowchart (PDF). The one-page version of Module 1 — pin it up, or hand it to the person who does your website and marketing.
Plain-English privacy glossary (PDF). The 40 terms vendors and lawyers throw around — "controller," "processor," "sale of data," "sensitive data" — each defined in one paragraph a non-lawyer can use.
Buy the pack. Work through Module 1. If it doesn't give you a clearer answer about whether these laws apply to you — or if you realize you're clearly under every threshold and didn't need it — email us within 30 days and we'll refund every cent. No forms, no exit interview. We'd rather have the honest review than your $49.
No. The Starter Pack is general educational information about US state privacy laws, written in plain English and reviewed by a privacy attorney for accuracy — but it's not legal advice and doesn't create an attorney-client relationship. If your situation is borderline or high-stakes, talk to a licensed attorney in your state.
That's a perfectly good outcome — Module 1 is designed to give you that answer fast if it's true, and it tells you what would change the answer as your business grows. If the whole pack ends up not being useful to you, the 30-day guarantee covers that too.
The pack covers every state with a comprehensive privacy law on the books — a 24-state matrix — with special depth on the 2027 arrivals: Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Alabama. The matrix gets a full update every January as new laws take effect, and pack owners get the updated matrix free.
Because the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act is unusual: it exempts small businesses as defined by the US Small Business Administration. That makes Texas a great worked example of why you can't assume every state treats you the same — the pack uses it to teach you how to read exemptions, not just thresholds.
Checkout and delivery are handled through our payment provider. You get an instant download link after purchase: the PDF guide, the three bonus PDFs, and the state-matrix spreadsheet.
If you're not satisfied for any reason, email us within 30 days of purchase and we refund the full $49. You keep the free checklist regardless.
One clear answer to "which state privacy laws apply to my business?" plus the system to act on it, before the 2027 deadlines arrive.

The Multi-State Privacy Starter Pack provides general educational information about US state privacy laws. It is not legal advice and doesn't create an attorney-client relationship. State laws change and their application depends on your specific facts — if you're unsure whether you're covered, consult a licensed privacy attorney in your state before acting. Privacy Patchwork does not sell software and does not accept payment from vendors for placement or recommendations.
