• Develop, implement and maintain reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of personal information, including its secure disposal.
• Satisfy this duty either by already being subject to and complying with Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act Title V regulations, HIPAA and HITECH regulations, or another state or federal law providing greater protection, or by implementing an information security program with a designated coordinator, a periodic risk assessment, employee training, vetted service-provider contracts, network and software risk assessment and patch management, attack detection and testing, and secure destruction of records when the information is no longer needed.
• A small business may scale its program's administrative, technical and physical safeguards to its own size, complexity and the sensitivity of the personal information it collects.
• This binds a covered entity, any person, including a public body, that owns, licenses, maintains, stores, manages, collects, processes, acquires or otherwise possesses an Oregon consumer's personal information in the course of business, vocation, occupation or volunteer activity, and a vendor the covered entity contracts with to hold that information on its behalf; a person who acts solely as a vendor is not itself a covered entity.
• The Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services enforces this duty by investigation, subpoena and a cease-and-desist order, with a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per violation and up to $500,000 for any one occurrence; the sections name no private right of action of their own.

• Once a party you call or text as part of a telephone solicitation states a desire not to be called or texted again, do not make a subsequent telephone solicitation of that party at that number.
• Do not initiate a telephone solicitation outside the hours of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., or more than three separate times to a party within a 24-hour period, unless you have an established business relationship with the party (a transaction with the party within the preceding 18 months).
• Do not misrepresent or falsify your own identity, the identity of a person you are calling on behalf of, or the purpose of the telephone solicitation.
• These duties reach only a telephone solicitation as defined: a call or text message encouraging a party to purchase real estate, goods or services or to make a donation. They do not reach a charitable organization, public agency or its volunteers contacting members or past or prospective donors, a call or text limited to polling or soliciting opinions or votes, a business-to-business contact, or a call or text that responds directly to a message the party sent.

• Before using an automatic dialing and announcing device to call a subscriber, design or operate it to disconnect within 10 seconds after the subscriber ends the call, and to offer the subscriber a one-touch or one-digit method within the first 10 seconds to opt out of future calls from you, unless you are a collection agency, debt buyer, debt collector, a public safety or law enforcement representative, or you have an established business relationship with the subscriber.
• Do not use such a device to dial a fire, law enforcement or other emergency agency, a hospital, health care facility, physician's office, poison control center, or suicide-prevention or domestic-violence counseling service; do not dial a subscriber who used the device's opt-out against you unless you are a collection agency, debt buyer or debt collector, a public safety or law enforcement representative, or have an established business relationship; and, when dialing randomly or sequentially, do not dial a subscriber on an official government do-not-call list unless you have an established business relationship, are a debt buyer or subject to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, are a public safety or law enforcement representative, or are a school district or school calling its employees, students or their families.
• Use such a device to call a subscriber only between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., and no more than three times in 24 hours, unless one of the government-list exceptions applies or you are responding directly to the subscriber's own message; you may rely on a mobile number's area code to decide whether the subscriber is in Oregon.
• Do not misrepresent or falsify your identity, the identity of a person you represent, your telephone number, your location, or the purpose of the call when speaking with the subscriber or in the prerecorded, synthesized-voice or text message a device disseminates.
• Whether or not you use such a device, do not intentionally alter, misrepresent or falsify the information a caller identification service would ordinarily provide to the called subscriber.
• Do not knowingly, or while consciously avoiding knowledge, provide substantial assistance or support, including carrying or facilitating calls, for another person's violation of the misrepresentation or caller-ID duties, unless you are a common carrier or a network operator on whose network the call merely terminates.

• If you cause or attempt a telephone solicitation of a business opportunity, or represent that a buyer will receive additional units without further cost or a prize or gift for buying or paying, a below-market price because of an unusual event or imminent price increase, or a seller, manufacturer or supplier other than the real one, or you sell gold, silver, other precious metals, precious stones, or an interest in oil, gas or a mineral field, well or exploration site by telephone, register with the Department of Justice at least 10 days before doing business in Oregon and pay the $400 annual fee, whether you call from Oregon or into Oregon.
• This registration duty does not reach, among others, a securities seller, a real estate, construction-contractor or insurance licensee acting within that license, a franchise seller governed by Oregon's franchise law, a newspaper, magazine or negative-option subscription seller, a person soliciting prior purchasers of the business it calls for (unless selling a business opportunity), a person who completes the sale only at a later face-to-face meeting, a supervised financial institution or its affiliate, an issuer registered under section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or its subsidiary, or a registered charity.
• When you represent free items, offer metals, stones or minerals or an oil, gas or mineral interest, or offer office equipment or supplies below usual prices, give the prospective purchaser, at the time of the solicitation and before any sale, the street address you are calling from, your principal address, and the further information ORS 646.557 lists for that kind of offer.

• Before placing a telephone solicitation call, screen it against the current list published by the administrator of Oregon's telephone solicitation program, which may include the part of the federal do-not-call registry relating to Oregon, and do not call a number on that list.
• Do not knowingly, or while consciously avoiding knowledge, provide substantial assistance or support, including carrying or facilitating calls, for another person's violation of this registry ban, unless you are a common carrier or a network operator on whose network the call merely terminates.
• The registry duty's definition of telephone solicitation does not mention text messages, and it does not reach a call responding to the called party's request or inquiry, a charitable organization's, public agency's or volunteers' call to members or donors, a call limited to polling or soliciting opinions or votes, a business-to-business contact, or soliciting a prospective purchaser who has previously purchased from you, the business you call for, or a financial-institution predecessor of that business.
