Hi, I leave these with the Community group for consideration. Deadline 4pm UTC today thanks.
From Claire Austin
C. Community
1. Not sure that encouraging community involvement throughout the data lifecycle would work in practice with, for example, a contact tracing app that is based on already-developed open source code.
2. For contact tracing apps, this is still a very generous guideline, as even some highly sensitive info (e.g. what floor of a high-rise you live on) could be seen as helping to answer a health question.
3. Provide more detail on methods aimed at protecting personal data. Mention centralized vs. decentralized servers.
4. What type of data should not be preserved (e.g. personally identifying info such as phone numebrs).
D. APPS
1. Are you precluding automatic exposure notifications.
2. Consider how notifications may be worded (e.g., you MAY have been exposed so monitor your symptoms vs. you HAVE been exposed so go get tested).
3. Consider personal telephone calls instead of automated alerts.
