Operators were ordered by the government to broadcast the \"Covid-19 Alert\" text message to French citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consequently, no telephone number was transmitted to public authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And abroad?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In some countries, the use of personal data is quite different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In South Korea, according to the French press \u2018LCI\u2019<sup>4<\/sup>, the personal data of citizens, collected by video surveillance or directly via their phones, are posted on the \"Coronamap\" website. These data can thus be consulted by the entire population, making it possible to know the geolocation of individuals carrying the virus, data on the duration of the contamination (less than 24 hours, more than 24 hours, more than 10 days, etc.). If a patient refuses to share their data, they may risk up to 2 years in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Israel, in order to combat the spread of the virus, the government has taken an emergency measure authorizing the internal security service to immediately collect data of citizens. According to the French journal \u201820 Minutes\u2019<sup>5<\/sup>, police will be able to \u201cobtain, without judicial authorization, the location of coronavirus carriers and quarantined persons via telephone operators\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><sup>1 <\/sup>Regulation (EU) 2016-679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016<br><sup>2 <\/sup>Recital 46 of the GDPR<br><sup>3<\/sup> Article L. 33-1 of the Postal and Electronic Communication Code<br><sup>4 <\/sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lci.fr\/high-tech\/video-coronavirus-en-coree-du-sud-les-malades-sont-suivis-a-la-trace-et-en-temps-reel-sur-internet-2148821.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.lci.fr\/high-tech\/video-coronavirus-en-coree-du-sud-les-malades-sont-suivis-a-la-trace-et-en-temps-reel-sur-internet-2148821.html<br><\/a><sup>5 <\/sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.20minutes.fr\/monde\/2742019-20200317-coronavirus-israel-va-collecter-donnees-citoyens\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.20minutes.fr\/monde\/2742019-20200317-coronavirus-israel-va-collecter-donnees-citoyens<\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paris, March 24th, 2020 -
