Data Protection Code of Practice for Surveillance Cameras and Personal Information

Harrier Aerial Photography’s business operations involve the use of UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems) capable of recording images and video. As such, we need to comply with data protection obligations covered by the ICO’s Data Protection Code of Practice for Surveillance Cameras and Personal Information.

The code states:

  • Where UAS are used for non-domestic purposes, operators should comply with data protection obligations. For example, when using UAS to access inaccessible areas, such as a roof to check for damage, its use should be limited to that specific function and recording should not occur when flying over other areas that may capture images of individuals.
  • The use of UAS have a high potential for collateral intrusion by recording images of individuals unnecessarily and therefore can be highly privacy intrusive, ie the likelihood of recording individuals inadvertently is high, because of the height they can operate at and the unique vantage point they afford. Individuals may not always be directly identifiable from the footage captured by UAS, but can still be identified through the context they are captured in or by using the devices ability to zoom in on a specific person. As such, it is very important that operators provide a strong justification for their use.
  • Performing a robust privacy impact assessment will help you decide if using UAS is the most appropriate method to address the need that you have identified.
  • It is important that the recording system on UAS can be switched on and off when appropriate. This is particularly important given the potential for the cameras to capture large numbers of individuals from a significant height. Unless operators have a strong justification for doing so, and it is necessary and proportionate, recording should not be continuous. This is something that we look at as part of our privacy impact assessment.
  • UAS cover the whole system, rather than just the device in the air, so the whole system must be compliant. Operators must ensure that any data which they have collected is stored securely, for example by Version 1.1 31 21/05/2015 – using encryption or another appropriate method of restricting access to the information. Operators should also ensure that data is retained for the minimum time necessary for its purpose and disposed of appropriately when no longer required.
  • Operators may be able to reduce the risk of collateral intrusion by incorporating privacy by design methods. For example, by procuring a device that has restricted vision so that its focus is only in one place. Privacy by design may be incorporated into our privacy impact assessment.
  • One major issue with the use of UAS is the fact that on many occasions, individuals are unlikely to realise that they are being recorded, or may not know that UAV have a camera attached. The challenge of providing fair processing information is something that operators must address. This could involve wearing highly visible clothing, placing signage in the area of operation explaining its use and having a privacy notice on a website that we direct people to, or some other form of privacy notice, so individuals can access further information.
  • Although these issues are the same as for any aerial vehicle with an attached camera, we have focused here on how UAS can be used as they are a novel device with the potential for a greater impact on privacy.

We comply fully with this code.

If you believe that you or your property have been inadvertently captured on film by a Harrier Aerial Photography drone, please contact us with the location, date and time of the incident.

We take every reasonable step to ensure that any unnecessary images caught inadvertently as part of our commercial work are deleted in line with your rights under the Data Protection Act.
