Privacy Policy Best Practices
Do you have any questions on how to properly operate a UAS with a camera? Here are some quick guidelines to help you operate you UAS responsibly.
- Create a privacy policy that outlines what data will be collected, how it will be used, and how it will be shared.
- Ask Permission from those you wish to photograph or record before doing so.
- Don't collect images of people or any other personal information continuously or for no reason.
- If you are filming for research be sure that you have permission from the IRB Board to test on human subjects.
- Make sure that if you take photos of minors you have waivers from their guardians before you begin.
- Don't store personal data for longer than necessary and be sure to delete it properly.
- Don't share data with people that have no need or permission to have it.
- Allow for people to avoid being filmed if they don't want to be.
Remember that everyone has a right to privacy and that means that they should be allowed to move around freely without reasonable concern of surveillance. Any personal information such as a face, name, and other confidential details are up to the individual to volunteer.
