When designing contact tracing apps in relation to COVID-19 or any other diagnosed virus, all of the following privacy measures should be considered EXCEPT?
When designing contact tracing apps, the primary privacy measures to consider include data retention, use limitations, and user confidentiality. Data retention involves determining how long data will be kept before being deleted. Use limitations ensure that data is used strictly for the intended purpose of contact tracing. User confidentiality guarantees that users' identities remain protected. Opt-out choice, while important for user consent, is not a specific privacy measure related to the function and design of the app itself but rather a feature of user participation and consent.
the odd one C. Opt-out choice.
Of course it is C here. AlexR76 explained it well.
C. Opt-out choice. Opt-out choice is not typically a privacy measure considered in the design of contact tracing apps. Contact tracing apps are designed to help identify and notify individuals who may have been exposed to a contagious virus, such as COVID-19, in order to slow the spread of the virus. User participation in contact tracing is typically voluntary, and individuals can choose whether or not to use the app. Therefore, an opt-out choice is not directly related to the design of the app itself. Instead, it's more about user consent and participation. The other options (data retention, use limitations, and user confidentiality) are important privacy considerations in the design and operation of such apps.
Can someone help explain this?
