外交部长维文强调,警方只会在重大罪案中索取“合力追踪”(TraceTogether)数据,并且谨慎使用。

周一(4日)内政部政务部长陈国明在国会答复议员质询时表示,刑事程序法赋予警方权力,可获取任何数据,包括合力追踪便携器的数据,对此引发一阵议论。

今日(5日)主管智慧国计划的外交部长维文则澄清,指“合力追踪”的数据也会使用在重大罪案上,且须谨慎使用数据。维文还强调,政府不会轻视国人的信任。

维文续指,尽管当局已竭尽全力在正常使用情况下保护“合力追踪”用户的隐私,但这些数据仍受限于刑事诉讼法。

他也解释,警方仅能通过要求协助刑事调查者提供手机应用或便携防疫器,来获取“合力追踪”的数据。至于其他敏感数据如手机,或者是银行资料,也同样需遵守刑事诉讼法。

而所提到的重大罪案,维文说,如谋杀案之类的案件,警方才会出于公共利益,在调查过程中索取“合力追踪”数据,目的是将罪犯绳之以法,保护所有国人的安全。

此外,维文重申“合力追踪”应用,以及便携防疫器均未设置全球定位系统,因此不会追踪用户位置。

该系统是采用蓝牙科技与另一台防疫器或应用交换信号,其记录的数据都已加密,并会在25天后自动清除。
