British travel company Holidaysplease has struck up a deal with members of its loyalty program, offering to loan them Google Glass whilst they are vacationing.
However, this loan comes with numerous terms and conditions, with one of the company’s policies being that the Google Glass should not be used “to record nudity, content of a sexual nature, violence or other content likely to offend.”
The policies also state that those who loan the glasses should “respect the privacy of others and not to film people so as to make them readily identifiable unless with their permission,” and that they shouldn’t “use the glasses in places where people will want enhanced privacy such as places of relative undress (beaches, pools, spas etc..) and other private areas such as toilets.”

As the Google Glass starts to slowly make its way into the general public’s consciousness, there are an increasing number of policies and restrictions being placed on users of the wearable tech. Last month it was revealed that the devices would be banned from all UK cinemas, and a huge debate escalated after it had emerged that a restaurant’s reputation had been smeared after its staff asked a customer to take off her Google Glass as she was making other customers uncomfortable. Katy Kasmai, founder of the ‘Google Glass Explorers of NYC’, posted a negative review of New York restaurant Feast following the incident, leading a large portion of her 3,000 followers to do the same, effectively dragging the restaurant’s name through the mud.
The LA Times reports that Holidaysplease is one of the first companies to come up with strict etiquette rules for the tech, but if the expensive headwear eventually cracks the mainstream market as Google hopes it will, you should expect to see many more around the corner.
