Aspectes de privadesa de les aplicacions de rastreig de contactes a Europa i recomanacions per al seu ús futur

Autors/ores

Resum

La primera pandèmia global a l'era de la digitalització va indicar que hi podria haver nous tipus de riscos de privadesa, derivats de les activitats de processament que tenen lloc dins l'abast de les activitats de rastreig de contactes digitals. Si bé cal protegir principalment el dret a la vida de totes les persones que viuen a la comunitat, també s'ha de considerar el seu dret a la privadesa. Per això, tant els reguladors com els controladors de dades han d'assolir un equilibri entre la privadesa i la salut pública. El propòsit d'aquesta revisió és analitzar els esforços de compliment dels controladors de dades a Europa, amb les regulacions i les guies de protecció de dades existents a la UE i extreure lliçons per a l'ús d'aplicacions de rastreig de contactes, dins l'abast d'escenaris de desastres potencials que puguin sorgir en el futur, mitjançant la revisió de la literatura existent i de les polítiques de privadesa de les aplicacions.
