Location data will not be collected
Apple and Google’s contact-tracing will only be available for use by public health officials. Both companies are constantly working with public health authorities in the direction of how to contact users with the apps. If a person is infected with a virus, then it cannot be detected by the system or any other user. Companies have also made it clear that the data of users’ location will not be collected.
User details will not be shared
Google and Apple have made it clear that they will not share the data of users with the government or any other authority except two cases. If a user selects Kovid-19’s report as positive, and shares his details through the app. Only then will the user’s data be shared further. However, no user will be strengthened to use this app.
