00:00:05.560 --> 00:00:09.540
I think it’s good 
to talk about the protection of privacy.

00:00:09.540 --> 00:00:14.120
However, this is 
an application that was designed

00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:19.980
on the basis of an open protocol 
developed by several European universities,

00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:24.080
and has already been implemented in the German version.

00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:29.460
And, it ensures that 
the data on contacts

00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:37.860
which the device receives from other 
devices in its wireless environment

00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:44.320
are stored only on the device itself. 
So, there’s no central database

00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:49.660
from which the state could receive or 
reconstruct these contacts.

00:00:49.940 --> 00:00:54.600
This is an application that 
enables individuals

00:00:54.860 --> 00:01:00.220
to obtain information on whether 
they have been in contact with a person

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:02.320
with a confirmed infection.

00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:08.980
The application will not enable 
monitoring of a person in quarantine,

00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:12.020
or indicate whether that person actually complies with quarantine restrictions.

00:01:12.020 --> 00:01:15.940
As far as I understand the specification,

00:01:15.940 --> 00:01:20.600
the application will not require 
any personal data from the users.

00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:26.720
Fears are natural and understandable and
it’s good that we’re talking about this.

00:01:26.980 --> 00:01:32.620
I think if the public didn’t react as it did, 
the application’s specification probably

00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:35.100
wouldn’t have been devised as well as it was.

00:01:35.380 --> 00:01:41.340
The more we care about privacy,
the better the solutions that will be developed

00:01:41.540 --> 00:01:44.780
by both the state and the commercial sector.

00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:50.140
As a researcher in this field, I hope

00:01:50.140 --> 00:01:53.400
that this debate will also continue 
with regard to other applications

00:01:53.700 --> 00:01:57.980
that are used daily and 
which share much of our personal data

00:01:58.360 --> 00:02:01.160
with foreign corporations.

00:02:01.940 --> 00:02:04.680
I will install the application immediately.

00:02:05.020 --> 00:02:08.400
Once I become ill, it’ll already be too late, in my opinion.
