The Immuni application, for which the government has entered into a development and sale contract free of charge with the Bending Spoon in Milan, will have to respond to a series of characteristics in order to be usable under all legal profiles, with particular regard to compliance of the protection of privacy. Among these, explains the Ministry of Innovation of Paola Pisano in an explanatory note, the essential assumptions of the assessments and considerations summarized in the document are: that the entire integrated contact tracing system is entirely managed by one or more public entities and that the its code is open and subject to review by any independent subject who wants to study it; that the data processed for the purpose of operating the system are "rendered sufficiently anonym to prevent identification of the interested party"; that the decision to use the technological solution is freely taken by individual citizens. It must also be ensured that, once the aim pursued has been achieved, all data wherever and in any form stored, with the exception of aggregated and fully anonymous data for research or statistical purposes, are deleted with a consequent absolute guarantee for all citizens of find themselves, before public and private subjects, in the same condition in which they were in an era prior to the use of the solution. Finally, the last point is that the solution adopted - in its technological and non-technological components - can be considered, at least in a prognostic dimension, effectively effective on the epidemiological level since, failing that, it would become difficult to justify any, albeit modest and possible, compression of fundamental rights and freedoms ".
