Is it safe to use TraceTogether? If the government makes it compulsory, would that allow them to track our whereabouts and locations?

I haven't downloaded the app but I know the Government is encouraging us to download it. Is my location or information safe or kept confidential?

You can the specific info here: https://www.tracetogether.gov.sg/common/privacy...

In short:

We do not collect data about your GPS location

TraceTogether uses Bluetooth to Approximate your distance to other TraceTogether devices. We do not collect data about your GPS location. Neither do we collect data about your WiFi or mobile network.

Data about devices near you does not reveal personal identities

When you are close to another TraceTogether device, both devices use Bluetooth to exchange a Temporary ID. This Temporary ID is generated by encrypting the User ID with a private key held by the Ministry of Health (MOH). It can only be decrypted by MOH, and does not reveal your identity or the other person's identity.

TraceTogether uses Bluetooth instead of GPS so the government does not have your exact location.

How many of you downloaded TraceTogether yet? I'm just using the normal camera to scan for safe entry. Is the TraceTogether app easier to use or more convenient? Can we do group check-ins?

I am using TD Ameritrade for trading on option & would like to know how do I know whether is my trade making profit or loss. Eg P/L open with ($1000) does it mean that I’m making unrealised loss now?

Would it make sense to use the combination of AMEX True Cashback + GrabPay to pay for things or just use a POSB Everyday Card?

What criteria does the government use to allow SRS to be used for robo advisors?

Cashflow is important. What would be the estimated cost to run these manifesto for 5 years? Using projected demographics, which manifesto would result in a positive cashflow in the government balance sheet?
