Immunity passports are riddled with privacy risks, loaded with ethical problems, and might not even help stop the spread of COVID-19, research finds

from security research company Top10VPN, immunity passport apps — which tout themselves as enabling users to travel internationally, or go into their office or school — are riddled with privacy flaws and pose big ethical problems.

"At the bare minimum you would expect adequate privacy policies that specify what sort of information is going to be acquired from an individual," he said. He pointed to the fact that in Singapore, citizens were told data they shared with the country's contact-tracing app would not be shared with police —"More than half of all the apps we looked at explicitly said they share user data if asked by relevant authority," he said, adding this was the case for US-based apps.

"[Some apps were] essentially very open-ended, and say 'we reserve the right to share this information with third parties for relevant business purposes' — which could mean anything and I think there is a real risk data will be used to sell to advertisers," he said.
