Drone exam · Privacy and data protection

A construction progress flight needs images of a roof edge, but the planned orbit also captures every balcony on the neighbouring apartment block. What should change?

Answer

Redesign the route, camera angle, crop, or timing so the required roof information is captured with less unrelated personal data.

Explanation

Data minimisation asks whether each part of the collection is necessary for the stated purpose. A convenient wide shot can create avoidable privacy exposure.
