Restrict data use from tracking apps
It has been suggested that an app will be introduced by the UK Government to aid in the tracking of possible contacts with COVID-19 sufferers. While I support this in principle, I am concerned that the data is to be stored centrally for use by the NHS.
I would want an absolute guarantee that my data:
1. Would be secure before I downloaded, installed and used an app.
2. Was to be used only by the NHS and not given or sold to any other organisation.
3. Would be used for this purpose only and nothing else.
4. Would be deleted once the virus crisis was considered to be over.
I would also want the use of the app to be regularly reviewed by parliament and the Information Commissioner’s Office.
