In the initial days of Covid, there was a lot of uproar around the data safety and privacy policies of multiple covid tracker apps across the world.

What the Health tries to add a level of transparency and old school nostalgia by letting people share their health data in the form of a gamified quiz, where they get to share Spotify song/playlist links with others who use the platform.
We also do not collect any personally identifiable information. Users just share their zipcode to give us a bit of location awareness about the reports.
CORS. Freaking CORS every time.
