To comply with privacy laws when operating a UAS, you should

• A. Ignore privacy regulations as long as it is for safety.
• B. Avoid capturing private information without consent and comply with privacy laws and local regulations.
• C. Collect data everywhere to improve service
• D. Only comply with privacy laws if a complaint is filed

Answer: (B)

Privacy when flying a UAS centers on respecting individuals' information and following the law. When operating, you should avoid capturing private information about people or property without consent and you must comply with applicable privacy laws and local regulations. This includes how data is collected, stored, used, and shared, and may require minimizing collection, obtaining consent, or implementing safeguards. Safety matters, but it does not override privacy obligations. Ignoring privacy or collecting data indiscriminately would create legal risk, and privacy rules apply regardless of whether a complaint is filed.
