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]. The implementation of these mitigations is work in progress alongside user studies to understand requirements of real-world use cases in terms of accuracy and sampling frequency. The latest version of the Proximity Sensor API has implementer support [4] with shipping decision awaiting the above-mentioned work items to conclude satisfactorily. Multiple experimental implementations of the earlier version of the API [5] 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.
