    Oh they will “start”. Right. I am positive they have not started before they announced they would, totally.

    Wow, these news caught me off-guard. Never would’ve expected THAT from Meta… Gosh…

      My sentiments exactly. That was not worth a post, and whoever did post should find helpful practical information and stop complaining on the internet.

      Ever since I used a friend’s headset I’ve wanted one, but refused to get one for this reason.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Starting with the next software update, though, the company will begin collecting and aggregating “anonymized data about… device usage” from Quest users.

    That anonymized data will be used “for things like building better experiences and improving Meta Quest products for everyone,” the company writes.

    A linked help page on data sharing clarifies that Meta can collect anonymized versions of any of the usage data included in the “Supplemental Meta Platforms Technologies Privacy Policy,” which was last updated in October.

    That document lists a host of personal information that Meta can collect from your headset, including:

    The anonymized collection data is used in part to “analyz[e] device performance and reliability” to “improve the hardware and software that powers your experiences with Meta VR Products.”

    Those who use a legacy Oculus account are subject to a separate privacy policy that describes a similar but more limited set of data-collection practices.
