You are probably well aware that not too long ago, Facebook has released their two new VR headsets - Oculus Go and Oculus Rift S - both heavily reliable on their cameras that are literally necessary for them to work efficiently. Problem is - which could be rather disturbing for a fan of VR porn movies who likes to watch them in privacy and comfort of his own apartment - that the cameras are always on during the use of VR goggles, which could bring some questions about the Facebook's privacy policy rules - especially in times in which we are reading about more and more companies spying their users. Today we took a closer look on the company's regulations and decided to tell you - our devoted fans of high-quality VR porn scenes -  a little something about them, to soothe your nerves and ensure you (or not) that everything is okay and that you do not have to worry about anything - especially focusing on what data is captured by the cameras and how it is afterwards used by the company, which is so crucial for everybody who does not want his dick to be recorded when playing with it while watching some VR porn. Oculus Rift Quest 6K Promo Since both Oculus Quest and Rift S use an array of cameras for tracking the movement of your head and hands and offer a pass-through view of your surroundings, these products rely on always-on cameras during use - and this is the feature that is both very enjoyable for high immersion of 6K UHD VR porn, but is also a huge problem in terms of privacy. In the original Rift, the problem was not that meaningful, as the previous version of the VR headset used simple point-matching for tracking and did not map and store information about your physical playspace like Quest and Rift S. Neither Oculus’ Privacy Policy nor Terms of Service specifically address how data captured or derived from the headsets’ cameras is used, stored, or transmitted, so it was crucial to reach to the Facebook's spokesperson to find out what is the truth behind your privacy while watching your beloved VR porn. According to the Road to VR service, whose representatives spoke with the Oculus' employee, Facebook's official statement for that is: "We don’t collect and store images or 3D maps of your environment on our servers today—raw images are not stored anywhere, and 3D maps are stored locally on the headset for Quest, and on your local PC (where you have access to delete it) for Rift S. This makes it possible for Quest/ Rift S to remember the playspaces you’ve already set up in multiple rooms." It has also been said that within the My Privacy Center, every user can find more information about his privacy settings, including some precise info on what information is currently stored about you (you need to be logged to your Oculus account to use both of the above-mentioned links). All we can do now is hope that this is true and we do not have to worry about our privacy at all - after all, when you are enjoying some super-hot VR porn, you do not want anybody to watch you cum, right?
