I got nothin'.
Best vague guess is BROADCASTS, being an anagram of ACT, BOSS, and RAD - but I can't make "RAD" fit "encoder", or "BROADCASTS" fit "unfortunate" ...

As a New normal, right now in Germany, when you dine in, you need to give your name, address and Phone number in the restaurants.
I visited couple during weekends and yesterday and mostly they have ask Customers to fill in themselves in a log sheet.
With so much noise about privacy issue , It was surprising that all personal details are available for all other customers to see!!! I just saw my colleague visited the same restaurant 2 hours ago.
Here Privacy is not an issue because
1. Its not being tracked by govt all the time ?
2. Its not because we chose to dine in and so we give consent implicitly.
cheers,
Super

This is definitely a concern I have about our new contact tracing in the UK, what's to stop this information from being sold on then used to target individuals for future advertising, or just sharing this information and the consequence of sharing such private medical data?

I have to laugh at this, Oz has an app from Singapore purportedly to trace infections blooms. We go to walk the dog at the beach, down to the dog park and to the shopping centre, and we leave the bloody phones at home!

I have my (strong) doubts that this tracking (especially that based on apps using Bluetooth signal strength to estimate the distance between persons) will contribute much to stop the pandemic.
BUT: The information collected, regardless of method used, is your location - nothing more. Is that "private medical data"?
The fact that I am present at the office, or at the grocery store, or at a movie theater is not "private", confidential information. I can't keep it secret from those who see me there.
So, while I strongly dislike that someone continously logs my whereabouts, it is neither "private" nor "medical" information.

Yes, as soon as the app identifies you as being at risk due to being in the vicinity of someone identified with Covid-19 that becomes medical information about you.
Also if data is shared about individuals who have Covid-19 that again becomes medical information being shared.
If the information stored is tracking information, then it will be possible to match that data to a set of individuals or a particular individual - as the tracking will continue to the front door of a house and workplace which will be enough information to identify an individual.

How does thei treatment of your data pertain to their ability to offer their service?
Have they given you the GDPR informative?
Did you sign the GDPR agreement for your data treatment with a clearly stated controller or processor, finality of use of data and lenght of time data are stored?
Do they have in place adequate measures to restrict the access of data from not authorized people?
They are violating the hell out of the GDPR.

It is part of the rules for re-opening coming from above...
They have to get the data to help in possible tracking of infection chains.
Not really their fault / will.

Of course not.

Yes, because they are doing it the comfortable way. Instead of thinking a bit.

So they don't need an explicit signature for data treatment (health and public health are exempt) but all the other points stand and could spell bankruptcy for any activity like that. Especially at the hands of competitors.

It is really fun how people bitched about GDPR. Until their data is concerned. Typical human ...

Its Just for tracking the chain. If someone who visited was infected, thy need to know who else was their in the premise during that time.
This is Ok but the execution is terrible.

In many countries, hotels were (are?) required to keep registers of guests. These were reported regularly to the police (and, in detective stories, were left around for the hero/villain to read...). The restaurant equivalent is no less intrusive.
I believe that a restaurant employee (rather than the patron) should be the one to fill in the details, precisely in order to avoid the situation that you describe. The fact that the government is not directly involved is irrelevant; it is still a breach of privacy. What would your reaction have been if you saw your best friend's name there, along with the name of a woman who is not his wife?

Yes, that's right.
But in all my years travelling I have not seen any book open to all the public.
I have seen how they copied / scanned my passport and I had to fill some formularies, but it was always saved in a non public place.
Of course, if they get hacked or there is a burglar / spy or whatever... they will get my data too. But at least not every single person going through the lobby.
And that's the problem in the german business right now. The books are there at the entrance, so everyone going by can do a picture of the page and have all the personal data of previous customers.
Daniel Pfeffer wrote: The fact that the government is not directly involved is irrelevant;
They are involved... they have forced the rule to the gastronomy and small service business (hair dresser or similars) where the customer stays for a certain amount of time.
The big problem is it is really bad ruled (as most of the time).
They just say... keep track.
And the restaurants are more than happy to be allowed to re-open again and do it in the most comfortable way, without thinking in the implications
The "law" / rule should be much, much more specific. To avoid this situations.
