The nation’s first state data privacy agency, tasked with enforcing California’s groundbreaking data privacy laws, now has a board of directors.
The California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) will begin enforcing the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) later this year. Created by voters in 2020, the agency will have “full administrative power, authority, and jurisdiction to implement and enforce” the CCPA, according to a press statement issued Wednesday by Gov. Gavin Newsom. The CCPA took effect in January 2020.
