Meta Horizon (VR)

VR headsets collect a category of data no other consumer device produces: eye tracking, hand and body motion, spatial mapping of the inside of your home, and gait and posture signatures that are identifying in the way a fingerprint is. Research has shown motion data alone can re-identify individuals with high accuracy from very short sessions. None of that fits neatly into existing biometric statutes, which were drafted around faces, fingerprints and voices. Meta Horizon is also used by children in substantial numbers, and a room-scale scan of a family home is a category of collection no privacy policy meaningfully explains at setup.

Legal notice. PUBLIC COMPANY (META). Service route: c/o General Counsel / Corporate Secretary, Menlo Park, California — the corporate address on the SEC Form 10-K cover page is the official address of record. Confirm the exact street address on the current 10-K at sec.gov/edgar, and check the state-of-incorporation registered agent (usually Delaware; most large filers use The Corporation Trust Company or Corporation Service Company) via the Secretary of State business-entity search. A registered agent MUST accept service, which is why it is the reliable channel when a company publishes no privacy address.
