Science and technology can be collaborated to create an application that can help to track the contacts of COVID-19 patients. Smartphone-based contact tracing applications have been adopted by more than 50 countries. One of which is in Indonesia. In March 2020, Indonesia launched a mobile application to track the contact of COVID-19 patients namely PeduliLindungi.  During its usage, users find some issues about PeduliLindungi, such as potential data leaks, data misuse, and data inaccuracies. This research is aimed to develop a conceptual model to analyze factors that affect user intentions in using the PeduliLindungi application. The proposed conceptual model is the integration of EUCS, DeLone and McLean that is equipped by the system security variables. There were 288 respondents. The data is processed using SmartPLS 3.0. According to the results of the analysis, the proposed conceptual model has 83.1 percent for its accuracy. User satisfaction and system security give a positive and significant impact on user intentions.  The variables of content, accuracy, format, ease of use, and timeliness give a positive and significant impact on user satisfaction. On the other hand, the system security has no positive and significant impact on user satisfaction. Meanwhile, user satisfaction and system security itself affects the user's intentions in using the PeduliLindungi application.
