It said the use of apps should not be obligatory and that they should include sunset clauses so that they are no longer used once the pandemic is over.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ep-wysiwig_paragraph\">MEPs stressed the need for anonymised data and said that to limit the potential risk of abuse, the generated data should not be stored in centralised databases.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ep-wysiwig_heading-2\">Tracing apps in the EU<\/h3>\n<p class=\"ep-wysiwig_paragraph\">The EU and many member states have been putting forward various\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.europarl.europa.eu\/RegData\/etudes\/BRIE\/2020\/649384\/EPRS_BRI(2020)649384_EN.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">digital tracking measures<\/a>\u00a0aimed at mapping, monitoring, and mitigating the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ep-wysiwig_paragraph\">Contact tracing apps that alert people who have been in proximity to an infected person for a certain time have emerged as the most promising from a public health perspective. The added value of these apps is that they can record contacts that a person may not notice or remember, thus enabling more accuracy and limiting further spread of the disease.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ep-wysiwig_paragraph\">Apps could also provide accurate information to individuals on the pandemic, provide questionnaires for self-assessment and guidance, or provide a communication forum between patients and doctors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ep-wysiwig_paragraph\">Apps might prove effective, but could also expose sensitive user data, such as health and location.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ep-wysiwig_paragraph\">The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/EN\/TXT\/PDF\/?uri=CELEX:52020XC0417(08)&amp;from=EN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">guidelines<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/live-work-travel-eu\/health\/coronavirus-response\/digital_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">toolbox<\/a>\u00a0for developing any Covid-19 related apps, prepared by the Commission in cooperation with member states,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/edps.europa.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">European Data Protection Supervisor<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/edpb.europa.eu\/edpb_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">European Data Protection Board<\/a>\u00a0aim at guaranteeing sufficient protection of data and limiting intrusiveness.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ep-wysiwig_heading-2\">\u00a0Parliament monitoring<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ep-wysiwig_paragraph\">Juan Fernando L\u00f3pez Aguilar, chair of Parliament\u2019s civil liberties committee, noted the important role apps could play in mitigating the crisis and welcomed the introduction of the toolbox, but stressed that fundamental rights and data protection must be maintained.<\/p>\n<p>In the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.europarl.europa.eu\/committees\/sl\/home-affairs-and-data-protection-issues-\/product-details\/20200430CAN54890\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">civil liberties committee meeting held on 7 May<\/a>, members will exchange views with the European Data Protection Supervisor and the European Data Protection Board on the use of personal data in the fight against Covid-19.
