Thank you for bringing hard research to this discussion!

I find it interesting that the one that contemplates authentication requires supervised machine learning and goes on to explicitly state that "analyzing mouse movements alone is not sufficient for a stand-alone user re-authentication system". Taken together, this suggests that a sizable corpus of mouse movement data known to be associated with one user may qualify as PII under some definitions.

Again, thank you for sharing this timely information.

This is how we can say mouse movements can lead to privacy violation: mouse movements as such doesn't contain PII like name, zipcode or gender. But when mouse movements are run through the machine learning algorithm, it can NOT only help you to identify the person (mouse dynamics are behavioral factors and you can map across different sites. By mapping across different sites, you will learn basically the same person is surfing these three sites and valuable information for advertising world, as an example) but you can analyze the mouse movements to identify your health issues. Now you take this information and link to other publicly available databases to identify the person!! So, overall, if stripe doesn't sell this data to analyze other patterns like id or health issues, its fine...but guaranteeing it is hard.

So at Unknot.id, we learn similar patterns to detect fraud but using smartphones. But we make sure, only needed results (that is fraud or not) can be achieved and not his health or other privacy related.
