What I read about this partnership is that there will be no data retained because there is no need to keep it. You will be notified that someone who tested positive was close to you. You really are only a number. It is then on you to go get tested, nobody will contact you other than the text you receive. That of course is still in development but they stressed, at least in the release I read, that this not a big brother thing. Scale will be critical and my belief is that the majority of my generation will avoid participating but those behind us will be active participants.
