Vermont passed one of the country's strongest data privacy laws, enabling individuals to sue companies for privacy violations, a provision not common in other states.
The new law in Vermont includes data minimization requirements, restricts companies from selling sensitive data, and empowers individuals to take legal action against privacy violators.
Private right of action in Vermont means individuals can hold companies accountable directly for privacy breaches without relying on state authorities, similar to laws in Illinois that saw an increase in class action lawsuits.
