This part of the "Hands and Body Privacy Policy" kinda scares me a bit
Post by: u/moisturizedmelon
So if a game or a site were to request my hand and body pose data, how could it be used, stored, or shared? Like would I be at risk if I gave permission to some of the wrong sites? And if I did, how could anyone even use said data to begin with?

CuteDaisyPinkDress: there is plenty of uses for such data given a malicious actor. blackmail, potentially.
the likelihood seems very small imo but def not zero.
JorgTheElder: Sites are only going to request it if they support interacting with the content of the site using hand tracking and body position.
... and why does it scare you? If you don't want them to have the data, decline the request.
Vallden: Well, obviously, along with your DNA, tracking your movements and manurisms will allow the deep state to make a perfect copy of you.
moisturizedmelon: im still coping with the fact that theres one of me. how am i supposed to handle a second??
Dumb_Mod: They will know what's happening when your hand is moving up and down
dedfishy: Sure its just like point clouds or some sort of rudimentary bone position stuff
cloudgainz: Oh they def will be learning my bone positions.

OtherwiseArt5810: "estimated hand position data"
they can't "see" your hands, they only know where they are, which they literally have to otherwise how the fuck will they use handtracking for interactions and stuff, no third party can access the camera feed of quest.
