TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE OF Radar COVID

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

1. What is Radar COVID?
Radar COVID is an App that promotes public health by means of a COVID-19 risk contact notification system, providing its USERS (hereinafter, individually, the “USER” and, jointly, the “USERS”) with the option of browsing the App and accessing the contents and services of Radar COVID, in accordance with these TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE.
Radar COVID detects the intensity of Bluetooth signals exchanged by devices that have enabled this App by means of the use of ephemeral random identifiers which have no relation to the identity of the mobile phone used or that of the USER. Each USER’s device regularly downloads the Bluetooth keys of all the USERS of the App who have informed it that they have been diagnosed with COVID-19 (following certification by the health authorities) and proceeds to determine whether the USER has established a risk contact with any of them, as verified by the Bluetooth signals that are exchanged. If this is the case, the App will inform them so that they can take the appropriate measures and thus help to prevent the virus from spreading.
Radar COVID’s architecture employs the Exposure Notification System provided by Apple and Google developed upon the basis of the DP-3T Protocol for decentralised proximity tracing in order to preserve privacy.
2. Use of Radar COVID
An essential requirement for use of the Radar COVID services is for the USER to authorise the App to enable the Bluetooth Low Energy communication system after it has been downloaded.
The USER accepts the content of these TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE without any reservations. Consequently, the USER must read them carefully before accessing and using any Radar COVID service, under their sole liability.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Use of the App is free of charge, free to be used by all citizens and done so on a voluntary basis . It is not necessary to sign up or to provide any personal identifying or non-identifying data to use Radar COVID. By enabling the App, the USER accepts:
- a) the sending of Bluetooth signals anonymously transmitted by their device;
- b) the reception and storage of Bluetooth signals from apps compatible with Radar COVID, which are kept in an anonymous and decentralised manner on the USERS’ devices for a period not exceeding 14 days;
- c) the information supplied to the USER on the potential risk of contagion, without personal data of any kind being sent at any time;
- d) the receipt of positive keys from third countries within the European Union via the European Union’s interoperability platform (EFGS); and
- e) with explicit consent, the sending of positive keys that will be shared with third countries within the European Union via the European Union’s interoperability platform (EFGS).
USERS can voluntarily inform the App of a positive result in their COVID-19 tests by using the single-use confirmation code provided by the health authorities. The validity of this code will be confirmed by the App to ensure the proper functioning of Radar COVID. USERS will report the results of their tests and will be asked for their express and unequivocal consent to the sharing of the keys generated on a daily basis on their devices corresponding to the last 14 days. These keys will be sent to a server that will make them available to all the Radar COVID Apps for downloading. The keys that are sent are in no way related to the identity of the device or that of its USER.
3. Security and privacy
The security measures implemented correspond to those envisaged in Annex II (Security Measures) of Royal Decree 3/2010 of 8th January, regulating the National Security Framework in the field of Electronic Administration.
We hereby inform you that your data will be processed in accordance with the provisions of the App’s Privacy Policy, whose full content is available via the following link: Privacy Policy.
