Question about Geolocation and privacy

[zequi]

Hi guys,
the app looks like amazing!!! 💪😀
Just some small questions about the funtionality of the app.

The APP makes a TRACE of contacts. Cool..! Like Singapur style 👍
I understood that you are using Bluetooth.
BUT the question #1: Do you need the GEOLOCATION of the user?
And Question #2: Which of these Geo or Contact data do you send to your server??

Easy questions. Just for understand the concept of the app. And perhaps help you about Privacy and GDPR.

Bye!!! Kind regards.

Hi Zequi,

We also have implemented a way to trace users via GEOLOCATION, but we don't need it to trace via bluetooth. But, however, in android we need to geolocation permission in order to make works the Bluetooth LE.
With the decentralised model we just send the key the user generates in its device in case the user is set as infected. The protocol works really similar to DP-3T and G/Apple one
