Data doesn't have to be on-device to be "Private Computing" although it often is. For example, Android's end-to-end encrypted backups sit on the cloud (because they're big), but the plaintext can't be shared with Googlers or anyone else. Not true for all operating systems.

Swiss app using Google/Apple EN system, adopted by ~20% of national population in 1st 2 months, is identifying infections that would otherwise have gone undetected and possibly spread. Awesome to see this protecting people. https://t.co/FF3YjZBL6u
