Other important information

State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing. The State of Vermont's privacy legislation differs from the federal consumer law in a number of respects. The federal version allows consumers to opt out of any sharing of information beyond the exceptions allowed. The Vermont version is the opposite in that consumers have to opt in if they want information shared. Since we do not share information beyond the exceptions allowed, there is no need for you to notify us in regards to opting in or out. Whenever the state law is more restrictive, we will abide by the more restrictive requirements.
