When you start creating your Privacy Policy, the first set of questions will be used to determine what privacy laws apply to you. The question of "do you collect the personal information of residents of Delaware" will determine whether you need to comply with the Delaware Online Privacy and Protection Act (DOPPA). DOPPA applies to any website that collects the personal information of Delaware residents. Since the location of your business does not matter for the law to apply, and Delaware residents can submit their personal information on any website, this law will apply to most websites.
DOPPA defines "personal information" as any personally identifiable information about a user of a website that is collected online by an operator of the website and maintained in an accessible form. Examples of personal information include a first and last name, physical address, e-mail address, phone number, or Social Security Number. Websites will usually collect this personal information through contact forms or newsletter sign up forms.
You should select "yes" to this question if you collect the personal information of Delaware residents through your website. Please note that if you do select "yes" to this question, you will be asked additional questions to meet the disclosure requirements under DOPPA.
