Drone exam · Privacy and data protection

A camera angle from above can see behind a tall fence that blocks all street level views. Why should the operator treat that angle carefully?

Answer

The elevated viewpoint may reveal activities or spaces that people reasonably expect not to be observed from ordinary public viewpoints. Capture only what the mission needs and avoid unnecessary intrusion.

Explanation

Drone mobility can defeat physical privacy barriers. That capability should be part of the planning assessment rather than treated as a free source of extra imagery.
