Current Contact Tracing Options Present Privacy Risks And Limited Adoption, Contact Harald Provides A Superior Alternative Solution News provided by Share this article Share this article MELBOURNE, Australia, Dec. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Contact Harald, an Australian based technology company, announced today their ability to meet user privacy demands while providing effective contact tracing technology in the global efforts to stop the COVID-19 pandemic. Contact Harald utilizes Bluetooth technology, placed in a card worn on the body, to provide optimal contact tracing support, without the invasive requirement of a mobile phone app, unlike competitors in the space. The firmware in place on the card is designed to be always on, using smart battery technology to keep the card running for a continuous six months without recharging or replacing batteries. Contact Harald's security team uses advanced cryptographic techniques embedded on the card to obscure location information, unlike most solutions in the market. By design, no PII (Personally Identifiable Information) data is kept on the card.
