This Policy applies to all Drones iVue Colleagues, including its employees, contractors, and agents.


Definitions

  • Consent – words or conduct indicating informed permission. Consent may be expressed or implied, depending on the context.

Policy

Inform Potential Data Subjects of the Use of Drones iVue Technologies

Colleagues are required to make reasonable efforts to provide timely prior notice to potential Data Subjects no later than the time of the collection of the Covered Data.

Use Care when Utilizing Drones iVue Technologies

In the absence of a compelling need to do otherwise or Consent of the Data Subjects, Colleagues are required to avoid using Drones iVue's technologies:

  • to collect Covered Data where Data Subjects have reasonable expectations of privacy
  • for persistent and continuous collection of Covered Data about individuals
  • over or within private property without appropriate notice and Consent

Colleagues are required to avoid retaining Covered Data longer than reasonably necessary.

Limit the Use and Sharing of Covered Data

Colleagues are prohibited from using Covered Data for the following purposes without the Data Subjects' Consent:

  • employment eligibility, promotion, or retention
  • credit eligibility
  • health-care treatment eligibility

Colleagues are prohibited from publicly disclosing Covered Data where disclosure is not necessary to fulfill the purpose for which the technologies were utilized without either:

  • De-identifying the data to the point where it is no longer Covered Data; or
  • Obtaining the written Consent of every Data Subject in the disclosure.

Colleagues are prohibited from using or sharing Covered Data for marketing purposes without:

  • De-identifying the data to the point where it is no longer Covered Data; or
  • Obtaining the written Consent of every Data Subject in the disclosure.

There is no restriction on the use or sharing of aggregated Covered Data as an input (e.g, statistical information) for broader marketing campaigns.

Participate in and Comply with Drones iVue's requirements to Secure all Covered Data

Colleagues are required to consistently take measures, consistent with Drones iVue's policies, procedures and practices, to minimize security risks of Covered Data. In this regard, Drones iVue will:

  • Maintain, manage and enforce this written Information Privacy and Security Policy, PS-002
  • Make reasonable efforts to regularly monitor our systems for breaches and data security risks
  • Make reasonable efforts to provide security training to our Colleagues who collect, transmit, or otherwise have access to Covered Data
  • Make reasonable efforts to permit only authorized individuals to access Covered Data e.g., Keep this Information Privacy and Security Policy PS-002, and the attached information Privacy and Security Notice, up to date and in compliance with applicable laws.

  • The rights and choices you have regarding this information
  • The steps Drones iVue takes to protect this information

The Information Drones iVue Collects

Drones iVue may collect information about you directly from you, from third parties, and automatically through your use of our products and services. Some information we collect from you is referred to as “Personal Information” or “Personal Data” in this Notice.

  • Account information. When you contract with Drones iVue, you may provide us with Personal Information that includes your user ID, email address or phone number, password or other information for account verification.
  • Contact information. When you engage with Drones iVue you may provide us with your contact information, including your name, alias, email address, shipping address, billing address and phone number(s).
  • Payment information. When you engage in financial transactions with Drones iVue you may provide us with your payment information such as your bank account, credit card number, or debit card number.
  • Photos, Videos, and Spatial Data (EXIF). Drones iVue collects your media when you upload it to the Worlds iVue platform. We actively extract embedded metadata (EXIF data) from these files, which may include precise GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude), capture timestamps, camera make and model, and resolution parameters to map your content spatially. If such content contains information about others, you are required to obtain Consent from such persons.
  • Hardware Telemetry & iVue RC. When using the iVue RoboControl (RC) application, we collect real-time telemetry from your connected hardware (such as Develop Air drones). This includes live GPS location, altitude, battery status, and the routing of live video feeds (WebRTC/RTSP) necessary for remote flight operation.
  • Anonymity & Financial Records. If you choose to post content "Anonymously" on the public map, your display name will be hidden from other users. However, Drones iVue securely retains your true identity, billing information, and transaction history in our database for payment processing (via Stripe), tax compliance, and legal obligations.
  • Communications. When you contact us, we may collect information about your communications with us.
  • Location information. When you engage with us, we may obtain your geolocation information to identify your location through GPS, IP address, cell tower location, or Wi-Fi/Bluetooth sensors.
  • Technical Information. We may collect technical information about the device running the browser or the application (IP address, web browser, operating system).
  • Cookies. We use cookies and other similar technologies (e.g., pixels) on our website and online services.

How We Use the Information We Collect

We use information we collect in a variety of ways when providing Drones iVue products and services and operating our business:

  • To operate and provide features of the Drones iVue products and services, to verify and manage accounts, and to process and deliver services.
  • Automated Curation and Platform Improvement: We use automated heuristics (evaluating sales velocity, hardware metadata, and geospatial positioning) to flag high-value content. We may use uploaded public or shared content to generate derivative works, such as 3D photogrammetry map meshes or marketing materials, to improve the Worlds iVue ecosystem.
  • To maintain and enhance Drones iVue products and services, to personalize the content you receive, and provide you with tailored content.
  • To understand and analyze trends and preferences, to improve the Drones iVue products, and to develop new products.
  • To contact you for administrative and informational purposes, including for customer service.
  • To comply with applicable laws, such as laws related to the use of unmanned aerial system technologies.

Data Retention and File Deletion Protocol

We manage content retention to optimize our infrastructure and respect your privacy, while maintaining a secure marketplace:

  • Drafts (24-Hour TTL): Uploads pending payment are held in temporary storage for 24 hours. If unpaid, they are permanently deleted (Hard Delete).
  • Zero-Sale Deletions: If you delete published content that has zero (0) sales, the database record and raw cloud files are permanently deleted (Hard Delete), immediately revoking our forward-looking usage rights to that raw file.
  • Post-Sale Deletions (Soft Delete): If you delete content that has already been purchased by another user, the item is immediately removed from the public map. However, the raw file is retained securely on our servers so previous buyers maintain access via their "Purchased" tab.
  • Account Deletion (Ghost Creator): If you delete your account, your Personally Identifiable Information is scrubbed, and all your posts are removed from the public map. Media with zero sales is permanently deleted; media with prior sales remains accessible only to previous buyers.
  • Derivative Works Exception: Revocation of rights upon hard deletion applies strictly to forward-looking, future use of the raw file. Drones iVue is not obligated to dismantle, remove, or delete pre-existing derivative works (e.g., existing 3D map meshes or published marketing campaigns) created prior to your deletion request.

When We Disclose Information

We will not disclose your information to third parties except as described in this Notice:

  • We may share your information with our affiliates and subsidiaries.
  • Any information that you voluntarily choose to make publicly available will be available to anyone who has access to that content.
  • We may work with third-party service providers (such as Stripe for payments or AWS for hosting) who provide necessary infrastructure.
  • According to local laws and regulations, your location information may be transmitted to and received by organizations determined by aviation regulations to be appropriate receivers of such information (e.g., for flight safety near critical infrastructure).
  • We may preserve and disclose your information if required to do so by law, in response to a court order, subpoena, or warrant.
  • We may disclose information to an acquirer, successor, or assignee as part of any merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
