Allow user to chose which EBIDs to send, and which not #47

Hi, For users being confirmed as infected, it should be possible to select which elements of its local proximity list are sent to the server. This would be an improvement to both: 1) Privacy and security. Alice might choose to send the EBIDs received when she went to the coffee shop, but not the one received during a job interview, for example. 2) Reducing false positives. Alice could choose not to send the EBIDs received when her phone was charging near the window with no-one in the room, hence eliminating the false positive of someone on the other side of a wall.

Hello. This is indeed a possibility, the problem being the design of an appropriate user-interface. But yes, I don't see any major obstacle. I'm not sure for scenario 2- (in the details) but I think that selecting time slices during which the user prefers not to upload his EBIDs is feasible. We can mention this possibility as an option left to the App developers. Thanks!

Not easy in terms of UX/UI. The other solution, is to switch off the APP (it is always possible, at any time to turn off the broadcasting and gathering of EBIDs) when you're not at risk... May be more easy to do it on purpose, taht to remember when you're ask to upload your contacts.
