U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D‑NY) has reintroduced the Data Protection Act, which would establish an independent federal Data Protection Agency. The bill aims to limit collection, use and sharing of personal data, oversee high‑risk data practices, and develop model privacy standards. EPIC and other consumer‑rights groups have endorsed the proposal.
Why it matters: The bill would create a new federal agency to enforce privacy protections across the United States, marking a major step toward comprehensive data‑privacy regulation.
