Legislator discusses CECC data use, privacy concernsBIG BROTHER? More than 30 people under self-health management were detected near the Taipei City Government’s New Year’s Eve event, and seven people under self-health management were asked to leave concerts by rock band Mayday in Taoyuan on Thursday and Friday evening. The CECC used that information to issue text message warnings to people whose mobile devices were detected in the areas where the passengers had been, she said. “However, once the pandemic is over, what the standard for using personal data is remains a question to be answered,” Kao said. Personal data collected as part of COVID-19 prevention efforts would be destroyed after 28 days, in line with regulations, Chen said.
