The UK government announced it would consider establishing "immunity passports" as part of a lockdown exit strategy during the ongoing outbreak of COVID-19. Digital certificates for verifying immunity, proof of vaccination and COVID-19 test results may contribute to the long-term COVID-19 management strategy, whereby based on their health status, certain individuals would be able to return to work and enjoy their general freedom of movement. Yet, such certificates pose important questions for the protection of data privacy and human rights, given that they would (1) use sensitive personal health information, (2) create a new distinction between individuals based on their health status, and (3) be used to determine the degree of freedoms and rights one may enjoy. The technologies adopted during the current pandemic will have a lasting impact on our societies. They will shape how we respond to the trade-offs between data privacy, human rights, and public health interests. This project will evaluate whether and how digital certificates for health status affect our enjoyment of data privacy and the protection of our human rights, assessing whether there are effective ways to mitigate any potential risks for these rights, thus informing decision-making in this area of crucial national interest.

英国政府宣布将考虑建立“豁免护照”，作为COVID-19持续爆发期间封锁退出策略的一部分。用于验证免疫力的数码证书、疫苗接种证明及COVID-19测试结果可能有助于COVID-19的长期管理策略，据此，根据其健康状况，若干人士将能够重返工作岗位并享有一般行动自由。然而，这种证书对保护数据隐私和人权提出了重要问题，因为它们（1）使用敏感的个人健康信息，（2）根据健康状况在个人之间建立新的区别，（3）用于确定一个人可以享有的自由和权利的程度。在目前的大流行病期间采用的技术将对我们的社会产生持久影响。它们将决定我们如何应对数据隐私、人权和公共健康利益之间的权衡。该项目将评估健康状况数字证书是否以及如何影响我们享有数据隐私和保护我们的人权，评估是否有有效的方法来减轻这些权利的任何潜在风险，从而为这一关键国家利益领域的决策提供信息。
