An act relating to consumer data privacy

S 93, the Vermont Data Privacy Act, would give Vermont residents new rights over their personal data, including the ability to access, correct, delete, and opt out of certain uses by businesses. It specifically strengthens protections for sensitive health data like reproductive, sexual, and gender-affirming health information, requiring businesses to obtain clear, affirmative consent without deceptive "dark patterns." The bill prohibits companies from using precise geolocation data or biometric information without explicit permission and sets strict rules for how businesses must handle personal data. These provisions would directly affect Vermont residents and all businesses collecting their data within the state.
