The California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) Board recently appointed a privacy and surveillance expert, formerly a leader at the American Civil Liberties Union.
This board holds significant influence over data privacy policy decisions within California’s leading agency. The addition of a strong advocate for civil liberties to the five-member board is anticipated to notably affect the agency’s operations.
The new board member, Nicole Ozer, currently serves as the first executive director for the Center for Constitutional Democracy at UC Law San Francisco.
Before her current position, Ozer was the founding director of the Technology and Civil Liberties Program at the ACLU of Northern California.
Her previous roles include a Technology and Human Rights Fellowship at the Harvard Kennedy School, a Visiting Researcher position at the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology, and a Fellowship at the Stanford Digital Civil Society Lab.
Ozer takes the place of Brandie Nonnecke, who was the outgoing board member.
