The Geolocation and Privacy Surveillance (GPS) Act was drafted by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) It is the first bipartisan effort to create a framework for when and how geolocation data can be used. The GPS Act would establish standards and procedures that law enforcement would need to meet to use GPS data in court. It would establish criminal penalties for those using tracking devices surreptitiously. The bill would prohibit commercial service providers from sharing location data with others without the explicit consent of consumers.”]
