NEW DELHI: The Center has given full clarity over the confusion over the confidentiality of personal information in the Health Setup App. The Health Setu App has released a new protocol on how to use the information it collects from the public. Under this protocol, titled 'Health Set Data Axis and Knowledge Sharing Protocol 2020', people are not allowed to use information about their health status and who they are meeting. It is used only for appropriate information at the government on public health and for appropriate decisions.
The government has said that users will be asked to delete demographic data, including name, mobile number, age, gender, occupation and travel history. The NIC has made it clear that the demographic data collected shall be kept as long as this protocol is in force or deleted within 30 days as requested by the customers.
Also, the NIC has to show reasonable cause for any data sharing. It is always appropriate to list the companies with which that data is shared. The Center has made the Health Setup App available for tracing the infected coronavirus and alerting the users of the virus to others. Nowadays it is also being used to issue e-passes and access to telemedicine. This app is mandatory for those who travel for jobs including railways and air travel.
