In den USA hat die National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) auf Anweisung von US-Präsident Barack Obama im Rahmen eines Multi-Stakeholder-Prozesses freiwillige Handlungsempfehlungen im Umgang mit Drohnen erarbeitet (PDF).
Die Kurz-Zusammenfassung liest sich wie eine Anleitung zum Thema Datenhöflichkeit.
Die große Frage bleibt: Was macht eine Gesellschaft, wenn sich nicht alle an solche Selbstverständlichkeiten halten?
- If you can, tell other people you’ll be taking pictures or video of them before you do.
- If you think someone has a reasonable expectation of privacy, don’t violate that privacy by taking pictures, video, or otherwise gathering sensitive data, unless you’ve got a very good reason.
- Don’t fly over other people’s private property without permission if you can easily avoid doing so.
- Don’t gather personal data for no reason, and don’t keep it for longer than you think you have to.
- If you keep sensitive data about other people, secure it against loss or theft.
- If someone asks you to delete personal data about him or her that you’ve gathered, do so, unless you’ve got a good reason not to.
- If anyone raises privacy, security, or safety concerns with you, try and listen to what they have to say, as long as they’re polite and reasonable about it.
- Don’t harass people with your drone.
