Other governments have asked people to download an app voluntarily.<\/p>\n<p>But there are growing efforts to coordinate action across the EU. Last week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/europe-cracks-code-for-coronavirus-warning-app\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">European researchers released the code for an app<\/a> that analyses Bluetooth signals between mobile phones to detect users who are close enough to infect each other.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the privacy watchdog in charge of overseeing the European Commission, Parliament and other bodies wants governments to go a step further and roll out a common app to fight the outbreak.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe EDPS is aware that a number of EU Member States have or are in the process of developing mobile applications that use different approaches to protect public health, involving the processing of personal data in different ways. The use of temporary broadcast identifiers and bluetooth technology for contact tracing seems to be a useful path to achieve privacy and personal data protection effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven these divergences, the European Data Protection Supervisor calls for a pan-European model COVID-19 mobile application, coordinated at EU level. Ideally, coordination with the World Health Organisation should also take place, to ensure data protection by design globally from the start,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/edps.europa.eu\/sites\/edp\/files\/publication\/2020-04-06_eu_digital_solidarity_covid19_en.pdf\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">EDPS chief Wojciech Wiewi\u00f3rowski said this morning<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The increasing focus on apps come<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/coronavirus-europe-data-regulator-calls-for-pan-european-covid-19-app\/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&amp;utm_medium=RSS&amp;utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More \u2013 Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[contf] [contfnew]         <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/snap.md\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/politico-logo.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">politico<\/a><\/h5>\n<p>[contfnewc] [contfnewc]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European regulator in charge of overseeing privacy for E..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":143145,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-143144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
