All privacy issues brought up to the group's attention have been documented [1] and reviewed with privacy experts [2] with additional mitigations specified [1] on top of the mitigations inherited from the Generic Sensor API [3]. These additional mitigations have been demonstrated [4] to be effective in a real-world scenario. The latest version of the Ambient Light Sensor API has implementer support [5]. Multiple experimental implementations of the earlier version of the API [6] informed the development of the additional mitigations in place in the latest version of the API. The DAS WG is [commitment](https://www.w3.org/2020/05/proposed-das-wg-charter.html#scope) to **security and privacy focused** and **use case-driven** specification development and believes ceasing this work would be considered harmful.
