QuestionQ202

Foundational Principles

Which of the following collected pieces of information is LEAST likely to be justified for the app’s purposes?

  • A Relationship of family member.
  • B Phone number.
  • C Date of birth.
  • D Citizenship.
Explanation

Citizenship is not needed for the stated virus-screening, risk-assessment, contact-tracing, notification, or healthcare-referral functions. Collecting it would therefore be least consistent with the privacy-by-design principle of limiting personal-data collection to what is necessary for specified purposes.
