Cowin makes it possible to implement a pandemic management system without establishing a national database that enables government or private surveillance.
The checks could happen privately on your own phone.
Cowin is an app that can be downloaded voluntarily and facilitates the contact tracing process. With user consent, it exchanges Bluetooth signals with nearby phones running the same app.
This allows you to be informed if you were in prolonged physical proximity with an infected person.
While this is an urgent public health emergency, we are committed to safeguarding privacy and ensuring control over personal data.
In other environments that require additional privacy & limited sharing of information, QR code encryption & delivery in a local environment enables safer transactions for all interested stakeholders including adherence to govt compliance needs.
The only identity data we store is:
When you sign up, a random User ID is generated, along with a unique QR code and associated with your mobile number. Both the mobile number and User ID are stored in a secure server, and never shown to the public.
