Prywatność w erze bezzałogowych statków powietrznych w świetle wartości Karty praw podstawowych Unii Europejskiej

Abstract

The article presents the issues of unmanned aerial vehicles, i.e. drones, in the context of one of the fundamental rights – the right to privacy. However, the author focuses mainly on drones used for entertainment purposes. The first part of the article is an introduction to the issue of privacy on the basis of European Union law and Polish legislation, as well as an analysis of the problem in the light of the value of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. Later on, she looks for answers to the questions: what are unmanned aerial vehicles, how is their use legally regulated and above all, whether today the privacy of citizens may be in some way threatened by drones. Then the author goes on to consider possible violations, also in the aspect of personal data protection. The conclusion is a concise summary of the issues discussed and a comparison of the results of the analysis with the guarantees resulting from the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.
