The Data Protection Authority monitored the quarantine application relating to the processing of personal data. The monitoring activity was undertaken by the supervisory authority in implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in response to media coverage of the processing of personal data by the mobile quarantine application.
The State Data Protection Inspectorate assessed the information collected during the monitoring and found that the processing of personal data by this programme may violate the principle of liability enshrined in Article 5, paragraph 2, of BDAR.
The processing of personal data in breach of the above principles carries the potential risk that the rights of the person concerned will not be adequately exercised. In light of the monitoring results, the State Data Protection Inspectorate has launched an on-time inspection and has decided to temporarily suspend the processing of personal data by that app.
