# Privacy & Policy

This section focuses on the policy and governance gaps surrounding XR and AI. Experts critique outdated data protection laws and call for new, adaptive frameworks.

These pages and links feature insights from global thought leaders and analyzes legislation like the GDPR, Digital Services Act, and OECD principles. Topics include biometric data ethics, surveillance risks, and the urgent need for international cooperation to create standards that keep pace with tech innovation. Technical fixes are discussed, but the emphasis is on building holistic, rights-focused governance systems for immersive tech.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://library.xrguild.org/privacy-and-policy.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
