Industry committee  As far as I know, there aren't any apps deployed with the exposure notification API. We're certainly in contact with public health authorities about this. That's something for the app developer to discuss with the privacy commissioner in their jurisdiction.

Industry committee  I think that a lot of what I'm about to say will echo what Madame Arjomandi just said. When we're talking specifically about the exposure notification API, there is on-device collection of information that is not shared without the consent of the user. They first have to take t

Industry committee  We are making the tools available so that all levels of government can make decisions appropriate to their needs and their priorities.

Industry committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. It's a pleasure to be with you in such unusual circumstances. It looks like you've started to adjust, but this is my first experience like this, so please forgive any interruptions. I want to thank you for the time to speak about Google's efforts to hel
