| contents | To investigate the level of support and awareness developers possess for dealing with sensitive data in the metaverse, we surveyed developers, consulted legal frameworks, and analyzed API documentation in the metaverse. Our preliminary results suggest that privacy is a major concern, but developer awareness and existing support are limited. Developers lack strategies to identify sensitive data that are exclusive to the metaverse. The API documentation contains guidelines for collecting sensitive information, but it omits instructions for identifying and protecting it. Legal frameworks include definitions that are subject to individual interpretation. These findings highlight the urgent need to build a transparent and common ground for privacy definitions, identify sensitive data, and implement usable protection measures. |
