Drone exam · Privacy and data protection

Police request a copy of footage after an unrelated incident occurred near a survey. The raw recording contains hours of material about other people. What should the operator do?

Answer

Verify the request and applicable legal basis, preserve what is needed, and disclose only the relevant material unless the lawful request requires a broader dataset.

Explanation

Cooperation with authorities does not remove the need for careful handling. Scope, authenticity, chain of custody, and unrelated personal data still matter.
