Summary: There has been significant interest in the technology and privacy issues associated with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). This concern is with good reason: in the context of video surveillance, for example, privacy scholars, advocates, and regulators have warned of the dangers of "sleep walking into a surveillance society." In the past, the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, Dr. Ann Cavoukian, has promoted both video surveillance guidelines and privacy protecting technologies. The aim of this paper is to provide a background for general privacy readers, as well as for potential users or regulators of UAV activities, as they relate to the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information.
