Setting apart the technical parts, this is IMHO preoccupying:
> NCSC states that "Users can always turn off tracing if they are in what they consider to be a sensitive environment".
Data (location and/or contacts) is either sensitive data or is it not (according to local Laws), the concept of "less sensitive data that I can risk being not protected" as opposed to "more sensitive data that - to be safe - I must exclude from collection by turning off the app" is "crazy".
Example:
1) going to work and back: app on
2) at work: app on
3) at home: app on
4) going out to - say - procure something illegal or meet lover (cheating on wife), sensitive environment: app off
In this case absence of data may be data as well.
