Drones and Privacy by Design: Embedding Privacy Enhancing Technology in Unmanned Aircraft Report
In response to the Administration’s call-to-action on privacy protections related to drone operations, Future of Privacy Forum (FPF), Intel, and PrecisionHawk released Drones and Privacy by Design: Embedding Privacy Enhancing Technology in Unmanned Aircraft. The report highlights examples of privacy enhancing technologies and “Privacy-by-Design” applied to drones. The report describes concrete examples of how drone manufacturers, operators, and others are employing Privacy-by-Design principles to help users respect privacy and promote trust in drone operations. Privacy-by-Design principles state that developers should ask questions about what data is collected, how it is used, with whom it is shared, how much of that data is retained, and how data is stored and protected. In doing so, they consider the benefits and risks of the use of data, and what steps can be taken to mitigate risk.
