It's "supposed" to only track the unique bluetooth tokens that your phone picks up via having BT on for the previous 14 days. If someone gets a positive covid test result, they log into the app with the positive result code given to them, so anyone who's come into contact with the the covid + person gets alerted of exposure.
Of course the tin foil hat crew is going apeshit over this sort of thing. Some guy was screaming at me a month ago after his iPhone updated to support the tracking framework. Threatened to cancel everything if it got installed on his phone.
People be crazy.
