About this app

Developed by JSC "National Information Technologies"
On the initiative of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The Saqbol application was created in order to control the spread of coronavirus infection, as well as the timely localization of foci of infection. The application is designed to anonymously track contacts with other devices that host the same application and store encrypted records of interactions with other devices.
You need to install the Saqbol application on your smartphone, turn on Bluetooth and carry your phone with you at all times. The smartphone transmits encrypted identifiers via Bluetooth. Each ID checksum is automatically deleted from the user's device two weeks after its creation.
The phone does not send any personal or location data to Central Storage or Server. This means that no one can find out with whom you contacted and where this contact took place.
If the user of the Saqbol app tests positive for the coronavirus, they can activate the notification function in their app. This will alert other users of the application who have been in contact with an infected person within the last 14 days at a distance of less than two meters and for more than 15 minutes.
When a notification is activated, the application automatically and anonymously notifies other users of the application.
Users who have received a notification in the application can familiarize themselves with the recommendations of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan on further actions.
Application use is limited to the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
