Vermont Privacy & Data Security Laws
Every statute below can apply to a business handling Vermont residents' data, depending on your revenue, the number of Vermont consumers you process, and what kind of data you collect. This is a general reference, not a determination for your specific business — run the full questionnaire to see which of these actually apply to you.
Comprehensive Privacy Law · 1
Newly enacted, not yet in force, and notably strict once it takes effect: applies at 35,000+ Vermont residents (excluding payment-only data). Separately — not fully captured by the numbers here — it applies at just 3,000+ residents if you process sensitive data or offer personal data for sale, among the lowest thresholds nationally. Consumer health-data provisions apply to any entity doing business in Vermont regardless of size. Nonprofit exemption is narrow (insurance-fraud-detection organizations only).
Data Security & Breach Notification · 1
Requires notifying affected residents (and often the state AG/regulator) after a breach of unencrypted personal information such as SSNs, driver's license/state ID numbers, or financial account numbers. Applies regardless of company size whenever you hold covered personal information about a resident of this state.
