Privacy expert Paul Schwartz, UC Berkeley, examines two proposed federal bills developed for the regulation of a COVID-19-tracking app in order to protect the privacy of health information.
UC Berkeley Professor Paul Schwartz examines the debates around the globe about the use and development of COVID-19 tracking apps. Given the great concern about the impact of these apps on privacy and civil liberties, he provides a compilation of best practices from European and U.S. data privacy protection organizations.
Professor Paul Schwartz, Berkeley Center of Law & Technology, and Professor Daniel Solove, George Washington University, discuss their recent paper, “The PII Problem.” Personally identifiable information (PII) is one of the most central concepts in information privacy regulation.
