This new data protection agency will have specialist knowledge in technology, data protection, civil rights, law, and business and will have the power to impose civil penalties for data breaches across the public and private sectors.

In a Medium post, Gillibrand wrote that Americans “deserve to be in control of their own data.” Gillibrand’s bill lands just a month after California’s consumer privacy law took effect, more than a year after it was signed into law. The law extended much of Europe’s revised privacy laws (GDPR) to the state.
