    Abstract: In an aspect, a wearable apparatus obtains information indicating that a user of the wearable apparatus is to input secure information (e.g., a personal identification number (PIN)). The wearable apparatus disables, in response to the obtained information, one or more sensors of the wearable apparatus that are capable of tracking hand movements of the user. For example, disabling the one or more sensors of the wearable apparatus prevents the one or more sensors from generating sensor data that can comprise the secure information. In an aspect, the wearable apparatus enables the one or more sensors of the wearable apparatus when the user has completed the input of the secure information, when the user is no longer proximate to a secure data entry point, or when a signal indicating to enable the one or more sensors of the wearable apparatus is received from a client apparatus.
