Abstract

The LEGAFIGHT project proposes a strategic assessment of the existing legal framework to be respected both at the EU and domestic level (compliance with the GDPR) to fight the spreading of the virus through tracking applications. It will also consider the already existing legal measures taken by foreign legislatures. It aims, as a first step, to provide the Luxembourg with a specifically socially and ethically tailored legal regime for tracking applications, leading to the drafting of a legislation, which could be proposed, as a second step, as a European and global model system in the frame of a longer-term project of epidemiological data management.
