Vermont Law Rings in Registration, Disclosure for Data Brokers
Partner Ron Raether was quoted in an article featured on Bloomberg Law titled, “ Vermont Law Rings in Registration, Disclosure for Data Brokers.” While discussing a new Vermont law that went into effect on Jan. 1 that imposes data security and annual disclosure obligations on data brokerage companies, he stated that the mandated disclosures “create the foundation for a deceptive act” by requiring disclosures similar to those in privacy statements. He went on to add that Vermont could find a company’s actions inconsistent with its filing, which could “set the stage for a potential deceptive claim” by the state or an individual.
