I’m in NorCal, too, and got it 30 minutes ago. I read through the disclose and about privacy and said “Decline.” It said they don’t use GPS and don’t track your location. Then how would they know if I’ve been close to somebody else who they also don’t track?
My trust levels for nearly everybody and everything are near zero because of the crooked “election” and COVID.
“It said they don’t use GPS and don’t track your location. Then how would they know if I’ve been close to somebody else who they also don’t track?”
Bluetooth.
Your bluetooth would probably record all other phones it is close enough to ping against. It probably wouldn’t tell you where, just THAT you were exposed. And then they make their little daisy chain.
Because you know, anyone who has passed within bluetooth (approx 30 feet) range will completely infect you. /s
Bingo. I agree. I don't believe anyone or anything anymore.
Most honest post of 2020.
Reportedly it uses Bluetooth to detect other phones that have tracing turned on. So it doesn’t record where you are, but it records what trackers you were near. It is also not supposed to know who you are. It only knows tracker 223 was in proximity to Tracker 953 on this date. If 953 says he tested positive two days later, it notifies you that you were possibly exposed.
