One day after Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai was interrogated on data privacy during a House hearing, a group of 15 Democratic legislators has suggested a new bill for safeguarding the personal information online.

The Data Care Act, suggested by Senator Brian Schatz and over a dozen co-sponsors, which includes Amy Klobuchar and Cory Booker, is about creating new regulations and rules on how companies which collect user data should handle the obtained information.

Under the act, data collectors would be needed to justly secure associated information, and not to use the secured information in a detrimental way. At the same time, notice must be given to consumers about violation of sensitive data. The demand is also open to third parties, in case, the data collectors share or sell that data with another organization or individual, and the plan would also permit the FTC new power to penalize companies, which act adroitly with users’ data.

The proposal is one of a handful, as Congress looks for the ideal way to manage the tech industry. Related points have been made by legislators which include Senator Ron Wyden, who suggested a bill in the fall, which would jail executives who mistreat consumer data.

The Data Care Act earned some wary consent from privacy activists. EFF legislative analyst India McKinney stated during a statement that the organization will be looking ahead to work with the lawmakers in order to make the bill much better and to increase information fiduciary security that would be meeting the needs of Internet users and competently protect consumer data privacy as a part of all-inclusive privacy legislation.

Schatz said in a statement stated that people would be having basic anticipation that the personal information which they are furnishing to apps and websites is protected properly and won’t be used against them. He added that online companies should properly use the personal data of the consumers and protect them.
