[vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]The whole world is currently under the spell of the COVID-19 virus. While the government is constantly looking for the right strategy against the virus, the health apps have been discussed a number of times. However, even in this critical situation it\u2019s important to respect the principles of data protection.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe would like to reiterate that data protection does not hinder the fight against the spread of the virus. The privacy principles make it possible to strike a good balance between the various interests at stake.\u201d Data Protection Authority said.<\/p>\n
Although data is essential right now to get a grip on the situation and to determine a thorough exit strategy, it is equally important that the rules are respected. To learn about the rules please see the official statement of the Data Protection Authority here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
