Think I've upset some work colleagues today!
One of them posted on WhatsApp a link to an app "Corvid19UK"
A quick bit of research brought up suggestions that there might be GDPR issues.
A bit more research found that the chap behind it was involved in a similar research company in France and his business partner there is being investigated under French GDPR regulations.
A bit more research found that some of the university departments that the data is being shared with have apparently nothing/little to do with medical/corvid19 research but do seem connected with commercial use of technology.
I posted suggesting folks do a little research of their own.
Wow!
The reaction is such that I now feel like A/beaker !!
I've been told the app is approved by doctors and nurses, that anything that might help is worth it, that GDPR rules don't matter in the face of corvid19 etc etc etc.
And you thought this place could be intolerant. It seems like I'm now the antichrist!
