The Baseline Covid-19 website made a big splash in mid-March when President Donald Trump announced project at a press briefing that. The idea for the site was to screen people for symptoms of the virus and direct them to nearby testing locations if they appeared to be a candidate. So far, the site has rolled out at a smaller scale initially than, having launched only in California. Verily is Alphabet's life sciences company, which is run separately from Google.
Responding to senators in an April 10 letter, Conrad said the company would not use data collected through the Baseline Covid-19 website for commercial purposes or any uses not described in the project. He also said the company would not sell any data collected through the site to third parties and that the project would adhere to the standards of the California Consumer Privacy Act in other states that don't have "comparable" frameworks. The letter was made public Tuesday night.
The company gave no indication it would expand authorization options later on, saying it "does not currently intend to provide a different mechanism for authentication" on the site. Verily said it recently created a screening tool that does not require authentication and is based on guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control . That version of the tool, however, does not give users access to a secure test results portal or updates on changing testing criteria.
Menendez said in a statement he was pleased to get a "firm commitment" from the company on its data protection standards but said he was still "concerned" Verily would not quantify how many people could not participate in the screening because they did not have a Google account.
