Episode 25: Track and Trace apps: What price for data privacy? We need to find better solutions.

Season 1 · Episode 25

Tuesday, December 1, 2020 • Duration 01:02:02

In today’s episode, we are delving into the issues we discussed in our previous episode #24 on the NHS Track and Trace app and considering in more detail the legal, privacy and practicality barriers to many track and trace apps in Europe.

We discuss the take up of Track and Trace apps in the EU and find it is mostly 30% of the population and lower. Data privacy when using apps has been protected due to EU GDPR, however, other basic freedoms have been taken from us and our way of life severely impacted over the course of 2020. Track and trace apps have not had the hoped-for beneficial impact in the EU. Had we taken a different approach to using more data and made the apps mandatory, could the outcomes have been different?

What does this mean in practise for track and trace apps as future solutions to help governments manage pandemics? Compare and contrast to other Asian countries.

If 70 - 80% app usage is realistically needed to be effective, then why did we not make track and trace apps mandatory? What are we to learn from countries in Asia?

How do we find a rapid and effective way to discuss and agree the extended use of our data to improve outcomes, rapidly, either during pandemics or outside of them? As Privacy, Legal and Tech professionals we must continue this conversation and find a framework for agreeing the greater use of data in a mandatory way to support better pandemic and health outcomes.

The economic costs of lockdowns are extremely high and have a direct effect on a nation's ability to provide future healthcare. Our short term fix to today's problem could cause many more problems for the future.

Episode 24: NHS Track and Trace App: are privacy and practicality issues a barrier to success?

Season 1 · Episode 24

Tuesday, October 6, 2020 • Duration 51:25

This episode is part of our series of updated podcasts addressing security & privacy concerns resulting from the coronavirus pandemic and the shift in working practises for millions of businesses across the UK and the world.

In our discussion we first talk about the NHS Track and Trace app and ask "how did we get here?" with app #2 being released five months after app #1.

We then explore whether track and trace apps are prevented from being successful due to privacy and practicality issues and whether this is a worldwide problem.

During our discussion, I recommend a very important film "The Social Dilemma" which is available on Netflix. This is an must-watch film for everyone, especially parents with teenagers, pre-teens and young adults.

Given some of the important issues raised in this episode, we will be recording Part 2, where we bring in a panel of specialists to start the discussions on how to address the practicality and privacy issues which can prevent track and trace apps from being effective during a pandemic.

Episode 21: Whose data is it anyway? Impact on track and track apps

Season 1 · Episode 21

Thursday, June 18, 2020 • Duration 24:01

In this episode, we are going discuss personal data in detail and explore the question of: whose data is it anyway? And what are we prepared to tolerate regarding track and trace programmes as governments around the world implement track and track apps. To discuss this we are delighted to have Phil Brown, The Norfolk Data Protection Mardler, who advices clients in Norfolk on data protection.

_Please note: Phil makes reference to the need for self reporting but would like to clarify that in the NHS Test and Trace scheme, an NHS Tracker will only contact individuals who have tested positive for Covid19. Whether someone should be tested at all is heavily dependent on self reporting. Furthermore, responses to a possible request to us to identify those with whom we may have had recent close contact is based on our ‘civic duty’ rather than a legal requirement - so it’s very much down to our willingness or judgment to do so.
