What data privacy could look like in the metaverse

Government and private-sector organizations want to update data privacy and management approaches. Dense privacy policies and misleading website cookie notices are legacies of a bygone era. Today, data collection is becoming more ambient, often happening in places where there's no ability to post a notice at all. Instead, digital experiences have expanded beyond our phones and web interactions, and data is collected in virtually augmented environments, whether through IoT devices on city streets or in our homes. These third parties would serve as links between people and entities collecting their data, or between businesses and their partners.
