Gone are the days when a helicopter had to be hired to secure
fantastic shots of a neighbourhood or local stadium in anticipation
of a major public or private event. Drones have ushered in a new
kind of photography and can be used in many instances and
applications even in traditional industries like agriculture or
last mile logistics.
One of the primary functions of using drones is to capture,
store and transmit data. While this kind of innovation is
incredibly exciting, the legal and broader implications of using
drones should not be underestimated. According to an article
recently published by Forbes, new risks associated with aerial data
continue to emerge. Thus, companies need to proactively expand
their current data governance policies to make sure they are flying
drones within the ambit of the existing legal framework.
