How to cancel my pre-order May deliver...Real Privacy concerns and lack of touch

[DrOculus]

I have followed Palmer and his HMDs for years now from that first taped together headset, I was made up that this guy in his flip-flops who was a gamer was bringing VR to us everyday folk but now I have serious Privacy concerns about the rift and its Camera/Mic.
If you take a look at this thread and scroll down you will see the pictures someone was able to get out the DK2 IR tracking camera ..

If one guy can get those pictures out of the IR Tracking Cam then what can a company like Facebook and it`s teams of people get from the Cam?

Here is a reddit that has me thinking also (full thread title "Oculus's services are always on and you should be concerned."..

Am i worried for nothing?..NOPE, not with facebooks history with its lack of respect for peoples privacy. Just put "facebook privacy concerns" into a search engine for thousands of examples
(Before anyone starts with the "if you have nothing to hide then who cares"....would it be OK if I put a webcam in every room of your families house`s and stream it onto the net for the world to see?....hey maybe you`re cool with that...I`m not

I`m thinking the rift will be a great HMD and no doubt the Touch will work great but Touch estimated 2nd 1/2 of the year and no idea on price? I`m thinking the Vive will be around the same price when we factor in the price of the Touch +Rift and the quality is going to be around the same. I see a lot of what looks like kids posting nowadays on the forums with the Vive vs Rift type discussions I read the forums most days but i don't get into the Rift vs Vive crap,
it`s like "my dad does karate...well my dad`s got a tank"

So with my worries about my privacy with facebook watching me through a camera in my home and lack of price/info with touch I`m going to cancel my Pre-order and get a vive, In my eyes they will mostly be the same and work the same for the room i have but i wont have the privacy worry and I will have hand controllers sooner rather than later.

I ordered as a guest so how do i cancel thanks

I think this should be in "Support" section. You can cancel by sending an email from what I know.

Contact Oculus Support if you wish to cancel you order.
Also moving to the Support section. Thanks.

Oculus should work on a way to provide everyone the option of installing drivers as standalone components separate from storefront and any associated data collection/update regimes required for operation of Oculus store.

I believe this request is neither unreasonable nor out of line with industry norms.  When installing Nvidia drivers I am not required to install an Nvidia storefront and activate an online account.  No other peripheral (monitors, keyboards, mice, disks, mainboards, nics, sound cards) I have ever used carry such requirements.

Thanks for your consideration.

Realistically... nothing. You're getting a bit too Alex Jones here.

I believe you're mistaken.
