Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore) and Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) have introduced the Gelocation Privacy and Surveillance (GPS) Act into Congress, in the wake of weeks of investigation and hearings on Capitol Hill. The bill aims to provide strict rules for how, when and if government agencies, law enforcement and corporations can access citizens' location-based data.
In terms of privacy, the GPS act likens location-based data to telephone conversations, and provides a degree of privacy similar to federal wiretapping statutes.
