Drone exam · Privacy and data protection

A drone's payload records audio by default during a visual facade survey. The client has no use for sound. What should the operator do?

Answer

Disable or avoid audio recording if it is not needed for the defined purpose, provided the system allows it and no other requirement needs the audio.

Explanation

Collecting an extra data stream creates extra privacy and security exposure without improving the survey. Data minimisation starts with configuration before takeoff.
