<h2 class=no-num id=priv-sec>Privacy and Security Considerations</h2>
1037+
1038+
This spec introduces no new security considerations.
1039+
1040+
Various features in this specification,
1041+
associated mainly with the ''@media'' rule
1042+
but also to some degree with the ''@supports'' rule,
1043+
provide information to Web content about
1044+
the user's hardware and software and their configuration and state.
1045+
Most of the information is provided through the features in [[MEDIAQ]]
1046+
rather than through the features in this specification.
1047+
However, the ''@supports'' rule may provide some additional details about the user's software
1048+
and whether it is running with non-default settings that may enable or disable certain features.
1049+
1050+
Most of this information can also be determined through other APIs.
1051+
However, the features in this specification are one of the ways this information
1052+
is exposed on the Web.
1053+
1054+
This information can also, in aggregate, be used to improve the accuracy of
1055+
<a href="https://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/unsanctioned-tracking/">fingerprinting</a> of the user.
