What NATIONAL STUDENT CLEARINGHOUSE's Vermont filing tells you
NATIONAL STUDENT CLEARINGHOUSE's captured Vermont registry entry is marked ACTIVE and identifies the business as a data broker under Act 171 of 2018 (9 V.S.A. § 2446). Section 2446 requires annual registration and specified disclosures, including opt-out method information when a broker permits an opt-out, prior-year breach counts, and certain minors-data information. This record does not independently verify current collection practices, legal identity, or the current request route. Act 138 (2026) amended the framework; its substantive sections take effect on January 1, 2027.
NATIONAL STUDENT CLEARINGHOUSE disclosed that it does permit consumers to opt out. The stated scope: Pursuant to the requirements of FERPA, the directory information opt-out applies to disclosures where the individual has not consented to the disclosure and where no other exception to FERPA’s consent requirement applies. It does not accept requests through a third-party agent, so the opt-out has to come directly from you: OfflistMe handles this by pre-filling the email for you to send from your own inbox rather than acting as your agent.
To review a removal request, check NATIONAL STUDENT CLEARINGHOUSE's current provider route and the captured registry contact at legal@studentclearinghouse.org. Cite the CCPA § 1798.105 or GDPR Article 17 only if that authority applies to your circumstances. Keep a dated copy for your records. OfflistMe can generate an email draft using the recorded contact: you review it and send it from your own account. The broker may still request matching information or verification.
