The official german contact tracing app [1] that has been developed by two major german corporations on behalf of the german government has received quite good feedback from tech-media as well as the CCC.

Similar to other governmentally supported apps this one has been made open-source beginning with the first drafts, is based on the provided framework by Apple and Google, does not store privacy relevant data on centralized servers and even follows the 10 baseline rules the CCC has published.

That actually makes it even more sad that the german government reaches out to the Luca app developers and buys their service for such a huge amount of money - although there is a product that is on par service wise and way better from a privacy perspective.
