Privacy commissioner finds COVID-19 programs largely protected privacy rights - The government’s use of vaccine mandates, cellphone tracking were ‘necessary and proportional,’ the commissioner found
Which app are you talking about? If you're referring to the national COVID Alert app, it was open source. If you're referring to the system APIs that were provided by iOS and Play Services, then of course they were not open source, but they did have very, very thorough white papers, and they were not developed by the government.

Canada’s $20 Million COVID Alert App Abandoned by Feds, Says Newfoundland Minister
The basic setup is pretty solid for privacy. You can, if you're really paranoid, build the app from scratch because the source is right here. Doing it that way will get around any concerns they backdoor the prebuilt app with something nefarious.

The apps themselves in Canada at least are open source (server) and have been peer reviewed by third parties and anybody in the community who was interested, a few things were fixed that way. I can not comment on other countries.

96% of Canadians who test positive for coronavirus aren’t using COVID Alert app properly
This link https://github.com/cds-snc/covid-alert-server#data-usage provides an example of how you could quantify the data download amounts, as it it based on the number of exposure keys that folks upload. As noted in the article, it's not that high, so the data usage would be minimal. Even with 100% adoption, you're still talking very low bandwidth usage, and there's no need for real-time data, it works quite happily on wifi/etc once a day.
