A Friendly Guide for TRAZE App PH

“Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.“

-Oprah Winfrey-

In the raging battle against COVID-19, Cosmotech Philippines in cooperation with the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) launched TRAZE Contact Tracing App.

TRAZE is a nationwide and unified contact tracing software that facilitates manual contact tracing by scanning QR codes, allowing tracing to be completed in a matter of minutes rather than days.

TRAZE automates the contact tracing of the DoTr’s attached agencies, eliminating the need to fill out manual contact tracing forms.

Those who may have come into contact with a COVID-19 positive patient may receive an in-app notification so that they can take precautions and begin self-isolation if symptoms appear to safeguard their families and loved ones.

NOTE: The government will NOT be tracking your location. TRAZE is solely used for contact tracing purposes only. Data is deleted every 30 days.

TRAZE A is now being used in four of the International Airports in the country: Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), Clark International Airport (CRK), Mactan Cebu International Airport (MCIAA), and Davao International Airport (DIA).

 

Benefits and Features of TRAZE App

• Uses Recursive QR Code

To protect your privacy, your personal QR Code will change every few minutes. To add an extra layer of protection, the QR Codes are also encrypted.

• Data Privacy Act Complaint

TRAZE values your privacy and does not store any of your information in the cloud forever. Every 30 days, your TRAZE History is also deleted.

• Doesn’t use GPS or Bluetooth

We never track your whereabouts, and we don’t depend on Bluetooth to collect information from you.

• Works Offline

TRAZE does not need high-speed data or Wi-Fi. It works even when you’re not connected to the internet, but you’ll need to go online to refresh your TRAZE History.

Once completed, click on the “printer icon”, take a photo and the TRAZE QR Code will be generated. You may now take a screenshot of this and print it for their use.
