Can I sell personal information without obtaining consent in Connecticut? What are the requirements?

Based on the context documents, it is not legal to sell personal information without obtaining consent in Connecticut. The Personal Data Act, Section 4-190 (9) of the Connecticut General Statutes defines personal data as a category of personal information, and “Other data” means any information which, because of name, identifying number, mark or description can be readily associated with a particular person [1.1][2.1]. Disclosure of personal data from personal data systems of the Department shall be governed by Chapter 3 of the Connecticut General Statutes [3.1]. Except where non-disclosure is required or specifically permitted by law, the Connecticut State Labor Department shall disclose to any person upon written request all personal data concerning that individual which is maintained by the Agency. The procedures for disclosure shall be in accordance with Connecticut General Statutes Sections 1-15 through 1-21k. If the personal data is maintained in coded form, the Agency shall transcribe the data into a commonly understandable form before disclosure [2.2]. When an individual is asked to supply personal data to the Connecticut State Labor Department, the Department shall disclose to that individual, upon request, the name of the agency and the division within the agency which is requesting the data, the legal authority under which the agency is empowered to collect and maintain the personal data, the individual’s rights pertaining to such records under the Personal Data Act and the agency’s regulations, the known consequences arising from supplying or refusing to supply the requested personal data, and the proposed use to be made of the requested personal data [2.3]. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain consent before selling personal information in Connecticut.

Requirements for selling personal information in Connecticut are not explicitly stated in the context documents.
