Privacy Violation
In practice, however, it is often merely an excuse to collect a great deal of personal data and violate privacy. Few applications make full use of data gathered in standard user models, and some suggest it is always economically infeasible to do so. Thus, information gathered regarding a disability may be used to deny someone compensation for an injury caused by their failure to see or do something, as opposed to being used to make that failure less likely by adapting the infrastructure or software to their use. The fields of adaptive software and personal differences analysis, themselves part of the field of systems design engineering, concern themselves with the degree to which infrastructure can be flexible.
