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 and can track people who are in the vicinity of the user for a particular amount of time if the op user test 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 up. negative as long as it's free and it doesn't come from above i think it's completely ok middle way that everyone has a smartphone by now which they use to look at everything with an app that bed registers your location around the clock that's why it makes sense what they did in china. data protection laws are far stricter in europe than they are in china however

which is why using the us to be voluntary and anonymous it's not programmed to log the users location only the distance between them journalist is monitoring the ops development i mean. what's all it's all crew sure this that the information is only saved on my telephone at 1st it's 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. the corona could be launched in germany this month just under half of all germans have signaled a willingness to install it one of them being angle americal herself. well for more on this let's bring in an kathleen ladles 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 where in. thanks for having me here today and i think an app can only be successful

here in germany events well and generally because otherwise people who refuse to use it or leave it at home and in the beginning there was a person who said that everyone in germany has not already but i think i don't think that it's true because just as studies show that just 79 percent of the germans have a smartphone so even not everyone has a smart already in german. right well it's not mandatory but how successful can it be. if it's not mandatory it well 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 there relax 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

they've all made to have trust in the app so well in what ways could it be used maliciously. i don't really know how it could be used maliciously and apt we that will be devil not right now but you know in the internet or in the digital sphere everything that can be trialled will be tried 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 hack us won't be able to get the dater and there's 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 the 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 should that they should news 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 it's necessary that we have this critical discussion here in germany so. that there's a high commitment in between the citizens and everyone who will be involved in the to her meant 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 there's the data will be anonymous and at the same title from the association fillable internet policy thanks very much. the corona virus has transformed countries around the world in a matter of weeks but not so in belarus even though the country has registered more
