It is estimated, based on 2015 statistics, that the market value of global commercial drone use exceeds $127 billion. With growing demand for higher quality data through drone usage, there is an increasing probability that confidential or personal information will be collected. Drones can present a total invasion of privacy if operators gather personal data or film individuals. The most common occurrence would be filming unsuspecting individuals carrying out their daily lives as the drone flies overhead.
