A computer system for prevention of unconsented emotional response data capture by immersive applications, the computer system comprising:

• one or more processors, one or more computer readable memories, one or more computer readable tangible storage medium, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage medium for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, wherein the computer system is capable of performing a method comprising:
• receiving a plurality of rules;
• recording, by one or more internet-of-things-enabled sensors, a plurality of content comprising speech, images, audio, and immersive activity while the immersive application is being used by a user;
