Yes - they have all our information, and a lot of other 'people' do too and no doubt if anyone wanted my information, they probably have it. The 'if you've got nothing to hide it doesn't matter' (which I sort of agree with) erodes our privacy and personal information.
What apps like this do is extend what should be private into the norm. Once restrictions are eased, how long are they going to keep it active? What happens when the next issue comes along? Is the app really deleted once this is over. How easy is it for others to Phish/scam from doing this (one already exposed)? What is the next level of 'tracking' going to be? How does this spill over into the private market?
It is one of the biggest ethical issues of our time - just because we can, does it mean we should?
