| The European Data Protection Supervisor called for a single coronavirus app in line with existing privacy regulations to be used across the EU, instead of every country making its own. It would ideally involve the World Health Organization and "ensure data protection by design globally from the start". Mr Wiewiorowski said any measures that infringe upon privacy must be: - Temporary, and "not here to stay after the crisis"- Limited in purpose, to what is needed- Have restricted access to data, and know who has access- Have a purpose, or "know what we will do" with the raw data and its results. |
