Liberties and AccessNow Ask Commissioners About Interoperability of Tracing Apps

Liberties and Access Now today sent a letter to the European Commission to inquire about the interoperability system for COVID-19 contact-tracing applications that was set up by the Commission.

Letter

Fundamental rights organisations are well aware that Europe is using all possible means to effectively fight the pandemic by using technology such as COVID-19 applications. We also know that the question is not whether to use personal data, but how. Therefore, we have asked the Commission several questions regarding the interoperability system of these tracing applications.

Their answers will help us with our 'Track the Trackers' project and help to ensure that national COVID-19 tracing applications are in line with the data protection rules of the EU.

Here is our letter to the Commission.
