I'll open a [Thread] on this, though I'm certain some of my #DataProtection friends will do a FAR more comprehensive analysis of the #ProjectOASIS apps' T&Cs and #PrivacyPolicies.

First up, @INK_C19 - a "Global COVID-19 monitoring app" with <checks> 38 Followers on @twitter. It's by a company called Mia Pago Ltd, trading as "Agitate" in the UK, and - despite the branding - not one of its Legal Agreements mentions "NHS" or NHSX":

[N.B. I shan't be installing these apps, just checking 'em out on the web]
Number two: @NHSX links to https://connectedcognition.org/ but "healthHive" on that page is only "Coming Soon"; the #COVIDapp ain't an app after all - its a #chatbot
that lives at https://www.fightcovid.info/ ...

...which certainly explains why @JHubDefence is interested in it (as an "AI" testbed?), but not so much why @bournemouthuni has hooked up with a #MilTech incubator.
Nor why the words "NHS", "NHSX", "jHub" & "MoD" all fail to appear even once in their #PrivacyPolicy

Number 3 is https://corona-help.uk/ ; all lovely and purple, with pink hearts, and "Powered by Leadoo".
Y'know, Leadoo - that well-known... ah! "Lead-Driven #Marketing Platform".

...ex-military types who don't seem to realise that to process #PersonalData, they're legally REQUIRED to have a #PrivacyNotice. How the fuck a #chatbot without any sort of Privacy Notice got into the #NHSAppsLibrary, I dunno. But it just shows how shit those 'standards' are!

Next it's @live_evergreen, the notorious #GPapp. It never passes up the opportunity to grow its NHS patient user base, so it can sell 'em more of its shonky "Skincare", "Diet" & "Fitness" #DNAtests.
Nice look, @OfficialUoM & @LivUni! Hooking up with a #COVIDprofiteer...

...though at least they've actually published their #dashboard:
https://www.evergreen-life.co.uk/covid-19-dashboard
unlike some others we could mention, *cough* @NHSEngland *cough*! *cough* @DHSCgovuk *cough*!
(One danger here being that @live_evergreen's app accesses MUCH more than just COVID info.)
