COVIDSafe needs Bluetooth® enabled to work. By enabling Notifications, you get updates to remind you when COVIDSafe is not active. Select ‘Proceed' to enable: Bluetooth® signals are used to determine when you're near another COVIDSafe user. Every instance of close contact between you and other COVIDSafe users is noted to create close contact information. This information is encrypted and only stored in your phone. If you test positive to COVID-19 as a COVIDSafe user, a state or territory health official will contact you. They will assist with voluntary upload of your close contact information to a highly secure information storage system. State or territory health officials can also contact you if you came in close contact with another COVIDSafe user who tested positive. For more information please refer to the *Help Topics* page. It is important that you read the COVIDSafe *privacy policy* before you register for COVIDSafe. If you are under 16 years of age, your parent/guardian must also read the *privacy policy*. Use of COVIDSafe is completely voluntary. You can install or delete the application at any time. If you delete COVIDsafe, *you may also ask for your information* to be deleted from the secure server. To register for COVIDSafe, you will need to enter a name, mobile number, age range and postcode. Information you submit when you register, and information about your use of COVIDSafe will be collected and stored on a highly secure server. COVIDSafe will not collect your location information. COVIDSafe will note the time of contact and an anonymous ID code of other COVIDSafe users you come into contact with. Other COVIDSafe users you come into contact with will note an anonymous ID code and the time of contact with you on their device. If another user tests positive to COVID-19, they may upload their contact information and a state or territory health official may contact you for contact tracing purposes. Your registration details will only be used or disclosed for contact tracing and for the proper and lawful functioning of COVIDSafe. More information is available at the *Australian Government Department of Health website*. See the COVIDSafe *privacy policy* for further details about your rights about your information and how it will be handled and shared.
