This comprehensive book delves into the intricate realm of rights issues surrounding visual privacy in the context of civilian drone usage. Visual privacy, as defined, encompasses the freedom from unwanted activities aimed at an individual, including the observation, recording, and publication of personal visual information without the individual's consent. The book aims to address the pressing question of whether the visual observation of individuals through the camera systems onboard civilian drones is legally permissible under EU law. Furthermore, it explores the legality of subsequent recordings and publications.

The issues are approached from a multi-faceted perspective, drawing upon the European Convention on Human Rights, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union, as well as the EU General Data Protection Regulation. By examining these legal frameworks, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of the relevant principles and regulations governing visual privacy in the context of civilian drones.

This book is of immense value to researchers, academics, and policy-makers engaged in the fields of technology, privacy, and human rights law. It offers a thorough exploration of the complex legal landscape, shedding light on the emerging challenges and opportunities associated with the use of civilian drones. The book provides valuable insights and recommendations for policymakers, industry professionals, and individuals seeking to navigate the ethical and legal implications of visual privacy in the digital age.
