Lawmakers in VT are at the forefront of a national movement aiming to shine a light on data brokers that buy and sell the personal information of millions of Americans with whom they have no direct relationship. A state law passed in 2018 required all businesses that trade data on VT’s residents to register publicly and share some basic information about how they operate. The goal was to give residents one public database where they can find clear information about all companies that sell their data and steps they can take to delete it.
