Fears over data security in state border management apps during the coronavirus crisis

From the article: 

"Digital rights experts fear people's identification, health and work details could be on-sold by companies that have developed new phone apps to help state border management during the COVID-19 crisis.

"...Lyndsey Jackson, the chair of digital rights group Electronic Frontiers Australia, said it appeared to request more data than other apps, such as the Commonwealth's CovidSafe contract tracing app.

"This company, looking at the terms on its website, certainly reserves the right to build products based on the data and information that people put into it.

"They also have some facial recognition capabilities.""
