It seems the privacy concerns surrounding the Oculus Rift automatic collecting and sharing of user data such as "users physical movement`s and dimensions"...and also that Oculus does not guarantee any of the data it collects about users to be 100% secure and holds no responsibility for its theft if that were ever to occur has gained more attention. Senator Al Franken has written to Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe with a whole host of privacy questions regarding the Oculus Rift
I think it is a good thing that people have this debate as we go forward with this new VR technology and the whole automatic collection of user data and its sharing be addressed. Especially when the data collected is given no guarantee that it is 100% secure and there is no opt out option for the data collection and no option to have you`re data anonymized.
Yes, we know exactly what information is currently being sent (I think I've posted it earlier in this thread), and that information is not included. There is no motion data being sent to Oculus at this time. Right now it is only information to help them optimize their software and fix bugs with it, and know which computer hardware Rift users have.
No, someone decompiling home and looking around is far from "we know exactly". There is much more to the Oculus stack than just home. They have not touched ANY of the native code or anything other than home app itself.
Information on a reddit post while very much useful does not in any way equal "we know exactly". Poster himself was careful to qualify the scope of his findings. Your unqualified assertions go well beyond his.
