Note: The group is <a href="https://github.com/webmachinelearning/webnn/issues/85">soliciting further input</a> on the proposed execution time analysis fingerprinting vector and will augment this section with more information and mitigations to inform the implementers of this API.

Implementers of this API are expected to be familiar with the <a href="https://gpuweb.github.io/gpuweb/#security-privacy">WebGPU Privacy Considerations</a>.

Instead, the API builds upon pre-existing shaders and lower level primitives of the browser or the underlying OS. Web developers who interface with {{GPUDevice}} are expected to be aware of <a href="https://gpuweb.github.io/gpuweb/#privacy-user-agent-state">WebGPU compilation cache considerations</a>.

In general, implementers of this API are expected to be familiar with the <a href="https://gpuweb.github.io/gpuweb/#security-privacy">WebGPU Privacy Considerations</a>.
