lknik has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/ambient-light: == Permissions for verbose readout of ALS == Verbose readout of Ambient Light Sensors might create several issues from privacy perspective (e.g cross-domain communication, cross-device linking, profiling), consider also http://lukaszolejnik.com/SensorsPrivacyReport.pdf. In this view we should decide if ASL will be subject to permissions? An interesting idea is to expose a minimized readout using MediaQueries terminology (https://www.w3.org/TR/mediaqueries-4/#light-level) without permissions, and require them for more verbose readout. This would make most of the privacy issues much less conceivable. I already discussed this in private with Tobie. I believe privacy considerations should be proposed after deciding this, since this impacts them directly (in my current draft, I propose ASL should be subject to permissions).
