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?
the320x200: Don't pick up your phone and type in a password while leaving hand tracking on.
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.
thedigitalcommunity: Your privacy has been boiling off with that poor frog for 30 years. Post-privacy is here.
Systems can estimate a user's identity it has seen before by the user's mouse movement, typing cadence, and scrolling behaviour patterns.
Your eyes, your ears (yes, your ears), your dental records, your voice, your DNA can be used to identify you.
Trained security/surveillance systems can now identify users by their gait.

Body and hand posture data is unique.
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.
