What Compliance Obligations do Vermont Data Brokers Typically Have?

Businesses that qualify as data brokers in Vermont may be required to:

• Register annually with the Vermont Secretary of State.

• Pay an annual registration fee.

• Maintain certain data security practices.

• Provide information about their data broker activities.

The law is designed to increase transparency regarding companies that trade in personal data and to encourage responsible data handling practices.

Organizations that meet the definition of a data broker should ensure that registration and governance processes are implemented and documented.
