Covid-19 data concerns refer to the balance between health and privacy during the pandemic. As Covid-19 caused a global emergency in March 2020, several restrictions were put in place by governments and institutions in order to save lives. Mounting evidence demonstrates that the collection, use, sharing and further processing of data can help limit the spread of the virus and aid in accelerating the recovery, especially through digital contact tracing.

Data collection could include vast amounts of personal and non-personal sensitive data. As a result, there have been several concerns from the public that certain measures put in place during the Covid-19 pandemic have led to the infringement of fundamental human rights and freedoms.
