s are asking the public about their attitudes to privacy, data sharing & the COVID-19 app during the pandemic.
We are keen to get a repreresentative sample of the population so please circulate the survey as widely as possible.

PRIVATT team is an interdisciplinary team with a wide range of expertise: data analytics, sentiment analysis, machine learning, communications, security, privacy, law. The partners are DCU (lead), Trinity College Dublin, National College of Ireland and Middlex University London. PRIVATT is hosted by the LERO and ADAPT Research Centres.
