Privacy, should we be concerned?

Searched the forums and couldn't find any discussion about it...

Should there be any concern about our privacy when playing with VaM?

Things like the VR manufacturer getting prints of our screens, or worse, our ambient and such, has anyone ever investigated if this could happen?

I'm thinking if I should block the internet on my router while playing or something like that...

No reputable VR manufacturer would do that. It would violate privacy laws, particularly in the EU, where they vigorously enforce that sort of thing. Social media companies, OTOH, see too much profit in violating your privacy, so they see enforcement fines as just a cost of doing business...

Privacy relates to all data, not just about pictures of titties.
If you're concerned about sharing data with some company by the use of a VR headset, which you do almost surely like login stats, app history, etc, then just block internet access of your headset in the router. You'll likely lose some functionalities in it, depending on your headset, but you can do that.
