Abstract:
Covid-19 pandemic obliged scholars to scrutinize new privacy concerns due to the use of digital contact tracing applications. Considering that we are living in the digital age, the type of privacy safeguards that data controllers need to take should be thoroughly investigated. Although the main goal of these applications is to tackle the spread of the pandemic in society, the privacy rights of users must also be preserved. Otherwise, serious privacy risks might appear when the pandemic is eventually over. This paper aims to contribute to this discussion by addressing the potential questions related to the privacy risks of contact tracing applications from technical and organizational measures perspectives and thus to provide a contribution to the use of privacy-preserving contact tracing applications within the European Economic Area(EEA).
