Planned on signing up, now will wait – Citizen SafePass Review

I had planned on signing up for this because I think it’s a fantastic idea. However, I have concerns about the privacy issues brought up by others, especially since it appears to be a buggy program to begin with, per their comments. Given that many sites and apps can be hacked, I have concerns about holding up identification, test results, held next to my face, if only from a security point of view. That is simply too much HIPAA information,Especially if people in your pod (even though I don’t plan on having any gatherings at my home, but other people do) would also be able to see that information. I work at a hospital in the Technical Services area and I am aware of other security breaches that have occurred at various facilities. Additionally, I think that those who are concerned about government intrusion but may still have been willing to sign up for this, will instead have a field day on a Twitter with putting down this app, based on the requested means of identification. I think something like entering a drivers license number or other identification, like a passport number should be sufficient information to provide on the app. This is a great idea, just not implemented in such a way that would result in more people signing up for it.
