DroneRules PRO will contribute to the development of a privacy and data protection culture among Remotely Piloted Air System (RPAS) operators, manufacturers and pilots (UA professionals) by providing them with high-quality online information and education resources. By providing resources, specifically tailored to the different groups of drone professionals, DroneRules PRO will assist them in critically assessing the privacy and data protection risks posed by their activities and identifying appropriate safeguards. Drone professionals will be supported through an interactive e-learning course, risk minimisation resources and guides and offline training courses.  The project has a pan-European scope, as it closely cooperates with UA industry professionals and regulators and provides the resources in multiple European languages.

The project will ultimately assist UA professionals with understanding their legal obligations and will ensure the responsible application of commercial drone technology. This will, in turn, enhance the social acceptance of drones in Europe. To achieve this, the DroneRules PRO project will build upon the work of DroneRules.eu and continue to develop and enrich the resources available on its website.

The DroneRules PRO project will develop detailed and tailored information and education materials for drone pilots, operators and manufacturers. UA professionals will be able to benefit from an interactive e-Learning Course, spanning privacy and data protection principles, requirements and safeguards. In addition, for drone pilots and operators, we will make available:

• A Privacy Code of Conduct
• A Privacy Impact Assessment Handbook and Template
• A Pre-flight Checklist

In addition to information and educational resources, in 2019 the DroneRules PRO project will organise at least 5 live training sessions in the UK, Belgium, Germany, Italy and Poland, where these resources will be piloted and evaluated.
