Thank you for your request for official information received 24 May 2020
for:

"I would like to make an OIA request regarding the NZ COVID Tracer app and
I would like this handled urgently.

The Privacy Assessment [1] paragraph 31 mentions analytics events are
captured "When the Consumer uses the ‘scan location’ feature".

I would like to request:

- the daily number of 'scan location' analytics events for all the days
you have data for

I request urgency because COVID is a fast moving event and data is often
obsolete by the time we get it if it's delayed even by a week. There is
high public interest in making sure the government's tracing app is being
widely used.

If possible, can I please ask this data to be proactively released every
day on the Ministry's website to save me from making repeated request."

The Ministry's reference number for your request is: H202003745.

As required under the Official Information Act 1982 we will endeavour to
respond to your request no later than 22 June 2020, being 20 working days
after the day your request was received.  

If we are unable to respond to your request within this time frame, we
will notify you of an extension of that time frame.

If you have any queries related to this request, please do not hesitate to
get in touch.

Please note, the Ministry has diverted significant resources to support
the Government's response to COVID-19. This may impact on our ability to
respond to your request. If you would like to reconsider or refine your
current request, this may enable us to respond more quickly. You can
notify us of any changes to your request by replying to this email.
