What the law says

The Vermont Data Privacy and Online Surveillance Act, signed June 16, 2026 and effective January 1, 2028, has one of the lowest applicability thresholds in the country, requires privacy notices to say whether personal data is used to train large language models, gives consumers human review and appeal rights for profiling decisions, and bans selling teens’ data or using it for targeted advertising.

The Age-Appropriate Design Code Act takes effect January 1, 2027.

What this means for your organization

The main obligations here come from the state’s consumer privacy law. If you use personal data for profiling or automated decisions, review your privacy notice, opt-out and appeal processes, and data protection assessments.
