With german chancellor Angela Merkel has said its too early to set a date when lockdown measures across the country to control the spread of the coronavirus can be relaxed but policymakers are already exploring ways to prevent new infections once restrictions are lifted one option is. A Smartphone App to track peoples movements and warn them if they have had contact with someone whos tested positive but in germany Data Protection is a big concern. Our mobile phones could become an important weapon in the fight against the corona virus and germany could see the benefits very soon so for developers are working on tracking apps which would enable a loosening of restrictions on Movement Without compromising data privacy the op registers of their smartphones with the op installed on contract people who are in the vicinity of the user for a particular amount of time if the up user tests positive for corona all the people they had contact with can be notified and warned the hope is that possible cases of infection can be isolated more quickly according to calculations however it only works if 60 percent of the population uses the op. That as long as its free and it doesnt come from above i think its completely ok with the way everyone has a smartphone by now which they use to look at everything with an app that bed registers your location around the clock thats why it makes sense its what they did in china. The Data Protection laws are far stricter in europe than they are in china however which is why using the past to be voluntary and anonymous its not programmed to log the users location only the distance between them journalist is monitoring the ops development. In china whats on its or crew sure this that the information is only saved on my telephone at 1st its not uploaded anywhere not stored at a Central Location somewhere this way if i were to test positive i could then decide to share the information voluntarily.

Well for more on this lets bring in an kathleen ladle from the association for liberal internet policy and kathleen thanks for joining me german old florida say the use of this app will be voluntary should not be compulsory considering the Health Emergency were in. Thanks for having me here today and i think an app can only be successful here germany events well internal because otherwise people who refuse to use it or leave it at home and and in the beginning there was a person who said that everyone in germany has not already but i think i dont think that its true because just as studies show that just 79 percent of the germans have a smartphone so even that everyone has a smart already in german. Right well if its not mandatory to how successful can it be. If its not mandatory we need to set the stage so that everyone is willing to use that that means that we have to set the right expectations where people can expect if they use it so if we can theyre relaxed the restrictions we have right now and they need to have trust in the app and the government so that they can be sure that the data we will be only stored on their smartphones and not handed over to any other authorities for example precisely be able to have trust in the app so well in what ways could it be used maliciously. I dont really know how it could be used maliciously and the app we that will be devil not right now but you know in the internet or in the digital sphere everything that can be trial will be trial so we need to be am sure that it will be trolled and of course we need to check for am aware Data Protection and Cyber Security and so on so that our hackers wont be able to get the dater and theres another problem because we want to use the Bluetooth Technology and it has shown that the tools is not always secure so there are a lot of possibilities to hack in through this technology through the the bluetooth gateway in what ways can the government assure paypal that this app is going to be safe and they said that i should needs them. I think they should work closely together with n. G. O. S and together with our federal commission for Data Protection and the software should be open source and i think it will be open source and i think its necessary that we have this critical discussion here in germany so. That theres a high commitment in between the citizens and everyone who will be involved in the desert of land of the app and Everyone Needs to know what they can expect if they use the app and how it will be used they need to understand really understand how it works and as the data will be anonymous and get to fame fatale from the association fallible internet policy thanks very much.
