Security controls

We make sure that your organisation has the security controls it needs to deploy Meta Quest devices. These include core device controls such as: network configuration and PIN requirements; features to monitor device status, including security logs and remote wipe; and support for device access, such as single sign-on, identity provider integrations and two-factor authentication.

Security practices

Our application security includes malware detection and vulnerability scanning. We leverage Android features such as sandboxing, encryption and authentication for operating system security. While hardware and firmware security is supported by third-party penetration testing, regular patching and more. We also offer encrypted headset-to-server transmission.

Meta standards

Meta's security practices and infrastructure are battle-tested to keep your data safe. They include building security-conscious teams; resilient protocols such as logging physical access to our facilities; and managing the entire security lifecycle through regular vulnerability testing of key controls and detailed incident response plans.

DEVICE PROTECTION

Built-in protection for VR

With a Meta Quest headset, people get to decide who sees their information or what data they share with Meta. They can also easily report abuse or other bad behaviour. Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest Pro also have additional protections in place to support device-specific features.

Meta Quest 3

With our latest headset, you can choose whether to share certain types of spatial data with Meta or third-party apps. To find more details about how we have applied our responsible innovation principles to help minimise any impact to people's privacy when creating mixed reality experiences for Meta Quest 3, download our whitepaper.

Meta Quest Pro

Eye-tracking and natural facial expressions are switched off by default on Meta Quest Pro. If you turn them on, they can be paused at any time. Raw images of people's eyes and faces never leave the device, are deleted after processing, and are never shared with Meta or third-party apps.

DATA PROTECTION

We protect customer data

We care about customer data as much as you do, which is why we're explicit and transparent about how we use it. Customer data is logically separated from consumer data in Meta Quest for Business, and is subject to strict access controls, as detailed in our whitepaper. We are SOC 2 compliant, which means that we've had independent validation of our security controls and processes.

How does Meta use my data?

Meta does not sell customer data or use it to personalise consumer products or advertising. We'll only use customer data for three reasons.

To provide and improve Meta Quest for Business
To promote safety, integrity and security
To comply with applicable law
