Problems with a tracker app for me are as follows :-
1) I keep location turned off phone, suspect many do.
2) Some won't install it because ZOMFG EVIL GOVERNMENT TRACKING ME. Look at how widely distributed bs 5G rumours have gone.
3) If it involves people self-reporting symptoms, then that's not always accurate.
The app would be better than nothing, sure but not a panacea.
Simply because apps I have on the phone have no real reason to geolocate.
In the case of a tracker app like this, I've no argument against it because that's an important function of the app.
It's like any software - apps need to have the minimum amount of rights to be able to provide functionality. Sending details an location to ad providers, third party companies etc for me have very little to do with apps I use.
Not really.
Those not wanting the app because MUH THEY STALKING ME, SELLING MY LOCATION AND DETAILS are akin to those believing the 5G shit willing to believe any shit conspiracy.
The aim of the tracking app is specifically to track those with symptoms. It needs the location otherwise the app has no use whatsoever.
What do you mean by 'it needs the location'? The debate is around centralisation or decentralisation of the information collected.

'Everyone who disagrees with my uninformed view is a conspiracy theorist' isn't going to get you very far.
Without centralisation, you end up with disparate data sets. Ok, say one region has contact tracing for South Wales - what happens as people move across boundaries?
I'm saying those who believe the 5G shit, believe the app data will be used by EVVVVIIILLLL government forces tend to be conspiracy theorists.
Still, we've got your informed view to rely on.

Good news, very good in fact
Any data should be collected under GDPR, however completely anonymous data isn't subject to GDPR.
Without seeing the app, if it generates unique ID with no identifying data other than say phone number, there's next to no personal data involved. If u enter name, address etcthen that data will as always be subject to GDPR.
