The data relating to the close contacts of the tracking app will be kept "also in users' mobile devices, for the period strictly necessary for processing". The app will be voluntary and geolocation in favor of "proximity tracking" is excluded. Failure to use the app, finally "does not entail any limitation or consequence with regard to the exercise of the fundamental rights of the subjects concerned and respect is ensured of the principle of equal treatment ".
