Vermont H0706 mandates internet browsers to include an opt-out feature for personal data sales.

Vermont H0706 amends the state's personal information protection law to require businesses developing or maintaining internet browsers to include a feature allowing consumers to opt out of the sale of their personal data. The bill defines "personal data" as any information linked to an individual or household. It prohibits businesses from developing or maintaining browsers without this opt-out functionality, which must be easily accessible. The Attorney General can enforce this provision, and businesses complying with the law are protected from liability for violations by other businesses.
