The rapid development of drone technologies and ever-increasing numbers of drone operations have introduced new challenges to privacy in the context of aerial surveillance. This chapter reveals the diverse ways in which the use of drone technology can interfere with the right to privacy and stresses how the advanced capabilities of modern drones contribute to the increased frequency and severity of privacy violations. The chapter also explores the broader implications of drone regulation on human rights, emphasising the tension between protecting privacy and ensuring other rights, such as freedom of expression and the right to property. It draws attention to the necessity for legislators to develop a comprehensive understanding of these threats to craft an effective legal framework. By critically examining existing drone legislation, particularly from a European perspective, the chapter highlights the main areas on which a legal response to the threats posed by the use of drones should concentrate. A proactive and holistic regulatory approach is proposed, balancing the competing interests of privacy protection, innovation, and other fundamental rights.
