Re: [sensors] Privacy - identifying parameters

I'd just write it down in the privacy considerations (that identifying
 parameters and sets of sensors with physical position) should be 
considered - as in the first post in this issue.

As for examples - at the moment I am unaware of any, but we could 
write the considerations in a generic manner. Still, if the spec 
considers that this information can be available (if I understand 
correctly, it does?), we should document that this is available 
through the API.

Then, if we'll have more details, we can then make an update.

So something like:

>     In case a sensor type has more than one sensors, identifying 
parameters can potentially be used for fingerprinting the user's 
device.
> 
> The list of sensors along with their physical location in a device 
can potentially be used for identifying purposes to fingerprint the 
user's device
