When you use a meta headset, the cameras on the outside film the environment around you. In order to use for example the gesture recognition feature, you consent for that video to be sent to meta as an AI training input.
Although your boss, today, doesn't get extra information, you are inviting a faceless organisation to collect hugely intrusive data about your home, much as if you install an Alexa or Google home.
How much privacy we sacrifice for convenience and features is a decision we all need to make - and it's a difficult decision because I actually don't care if facebook have photos of my messy desk. But I would care if they got hacked an my credit card got leaked, very practically, or if an employer provided unit fed my HR telemetry about my stress levels or how much of the time I spent pooping. That would not be an acceptable tradeoff and it is possible.

Then don’t consent to the 10ft tall disclaimer, if it exists. I never use hand tracking, and work in VR just fine. I imagine that need will go away once they have enough training data. The hand tracking has improved tremendously since launch.
It sounds like you believe there are data leaks that aren’t being disclosed in the privacy policy. You should contact a lawyer if you have insider information on this.
