That information is then used to send a notification to the people they&#8217;ve come into contact with, allowing them to take the required action.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;If you become unwell with the symptoms of coronavirus, you can securely tell this new NHS app,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And the app will then send an alert anonymously to other app users that you&#8217;ve been in significant contact with over the past few days, even before you had symptoms, so that they know and can act accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All data will be handled according to the highest ethical and security standards, and would only be used for NHS care and research.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And we won&#8217;t hold it any longer than is needed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But that isn&#8217;t going down well with everyone. The University of Cambridge&#8217;s Prof Ross Anderson is concerned that history will repeat itself here \u2013 and that history shows the NHS isn&#8217;t all that great at keeping private data private.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I recognise the overwhelming force of the public-health arguments for a centralised system, but I also have 25 years&#8217; experience of the NHS being incompetent at developing systems and repeatedly breaking their privacy promises when they do manage to collect some data of value to somebody else,&#8221; added the professor of security engineering.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m really uneasy about collecting lots of lightly-anonymised data in a system that becomes integrated into a whole-of-government response to the pandemic. We might never get rid of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Regardless, a version of the new app will begin testing next week.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h3>Have you listened to this week&#8217;s Android Central Podcast?<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Android Central\" data-source=\"Android Central\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/androidcentral.com\/files\/styles\/large\/public\/article_images\/2020\/02\/androidcentral-podcast-1400.jpg?itok=zPywos0-\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/all\/themes\/mbn2_twig\/assets\/images\/1x1.png\" title=\"\" width=\"800\"><\/img><\/p>\n<p>Every week, the Android Central Podcast brings you the latest tech news, analysis and hot takes, with familiar co-hosts and special guests.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Subscribe in Pocket Casts: <a href=\"https:\/\/pca.st\/androidcentral\">Audio<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Subscribe in Spotify: <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/5jrP8ZEXns0w5ro3MAVnp7\">Audio<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Subscribe in iTunes: <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/android-central-podcast\/id359703665?mt=2&#038;at=10l3Vy&#038;ct=UUacUdUsU6YYw\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"\">Audio<\/a> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nWe may earn a commission for purchases using our links. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.futureplc.com\/terms-conditions\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Learn more<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<div>\n<article data-id=\"88764\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/what-android-game-do-you-play-most\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"What Android game do you play the most?\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/androidcentral.com\/files\/styles\/w200h150crop\/public\/article_images\/2020\/04\/call-of-duty-mobile-hero-joe-2.jpg?itok=7dKQ8L9v\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/all\/themes\/mbn2_twig\/assets\/images\/1x1.png\"><\/img><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>GAME TIME<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>\nWhat Android game do you play the most?<br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>With everyone stuck at home, there&#8217;s a good chance you&#8217;ve been playing more games than usual.
