Summary
Key Points: 
  • Understanding Extended Reality Technology & Data Flows: * *Privacy and Data Protection Risks and Mitigation Strategies This post is the second in a two-part series.
  • However, these technologies often depend on sensitive personal information, and the collection, processing, and transfer of this data to other parties may pose privacy and data protection risks to both users and bystanders.
  • This post examines the XR data flows that are featured in FPFs infographic, and analyzes some of the data protection, privacy, and equity issues raised by the data that is processed by these devices, as well as strategies for mitigating these risks.
  • *Key risks include: Sensitive inferences: XR devices collect, process, and share large quantities of data about users bodies and environments.
  • Privacy-enhancing technologies ( PETs Bystander protections: Designing XR devices so that they ensure bystanders data is not unduly collected.
  • Processing Large Volumes and Varieties of Sensitive Personal Data
    XR technologies raise traditional privacy and data protection risks, but also implicates larger questions around surveillance, social engineering, and freedom of expression.
  • While these transmissions of data may improve a users XR experiences, they can also create new privacy and data protection risks for users and bystanders.
  • Eye tracking underpins many current and future-facing use cases, such as enhanced graphics, expressive avatars, and personalized content, but it may pose privacy and data protection risks to users.
  • Bystander and Environmental Data
    Bystanders privacy can also be impacted when XR devices and third parties collect and process sensor data.
  • Some of the privacy and data protection issues affecting bystanders mirror the privacy risks to XR users.
  • Strategies for Mitigating Risks
    Organizations that provide XR technologies can implement a number of strategies to address the risks raised by XR data collection, use, and sharing.
  • V. Conclusion
    The complex web of data, sensors, algorithms and automated systems, and parties that enable important and sometimes central XR functions also can raise privacy and data protection concerns.
