MONTPELIER, Vt. (WCAX) – A new bill would give Vermonters the right to delete data.
The Vermont Data Privacy Act would let people access, correct, and even delete information that businesses have about them.
It also lets people opt out of their data being used for targeted advertising and data sales and increases consent requirements about collecting sensitive data such as health information.
The bill passed the House unanimously, putting Vermont on track to be the 15th state to pass consumer data protection laws of this kind.
