The ICO steps in – The Scottish Government needs to be more transparent with respect to citizen’s personal information and the COVID-19 app

The Information Commissioner’s Office has issued a written reprimand to both the Scottish Government and NHS National Services Scotland about failures in how citizen’s personal data was used and handled by the NHS Scotland COVID Status app.

Governments should not be making these types of mistakes.
