Abstract

Reviews the debate over the NHS's smartphone contact tracing app used in response to the coronavirus pandemic, including whether a decentralised approach is preferable. Examines key data protection and privacy concerns, including potential violations of ECHR art.8, and suggests how a five-stage experimental model of proportionality review could help maintain a balance between individual rights and wider community interests.
