We take your privacy seriously. The VR experience FLOAT collects minimal gameplay data to support its core functionality.

By default, the application tracks hand poses locally every frame to enable gesture-based interaction. These pose data are periodically saved on the device. No personal or biometric information is collected.

The hand pose data remain stored locally and are not transmitted or shared unless the user explicitly agrees to submit the data.

If the player voluntarily connects a compatible EMG armband or wearable (e.g., from MyoMod), additional muscle contraction data may be recorded by that third-party device. However, FLOAT does not process or store EMG data directly. Transmission of data to MyoMod, if applicable, occurs only with informed user consent and in the context of research participation.

FLOAT runs fully offline by default and does not collect personal identifiers, device IDs, or sensitive information.

For research-related data collection, any such use is governed by corresponding ethical approval and consent processes.
