After India's Prime Minister requested citizens to download the Aarogya Setu application (Hindi for Healthcare Bridge), Internet Freedom Foundation have analysed the application, highlighting how it is inconsistent with the right to privacy and suggesting recommendations, in a working paper titled  "Privacy Prescriptions for technology interventions on COVID-19 in India".
