Personal Information You Provide: When you request a quote, book a drone service, fill out a contact form, subscribe to our newsletter, or communicate with us by phone or email, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, company name, mailing address, project location, event date, property address, and any other details you voluntarily share about your project needs.

Automatically Collected Information: When you visit our website, we may automatically collect technical data including your IP address, browser type, operating system, device information, pages visited, referring URL, time spent on pages, and other standard analytics data through cookies and similar tracking technologies.

Aerial Data and Imagery: In the course of providing aerial photography and videography, drone inspections, and surveying and mapping services, our drones may capture aerial photographs, video footage, thermal imagery, and geospatial data of properties, land, events, and surrounding areas in Raleigh and across North Carolina. This data is collected solely for the purpose of fulfilling the specific service engagement contracted by our client.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our drone services, including to process your quote requests and bookings; communicate with you about your project, event, or service engagement; deliver aerial photography, videography, inspection reports, survey data, and other contracted deliverables; process payments and send invoices; send you marketing communications about our services (only with your consent, and you may opt out at any time); improve our website, user experience, and service offerings; comply with applicable laws, regulations, and FAA requirements; and respond to legal requests or prevent fraudulent activity.

4. Aerial Data and Property Imagery

Drone Studio NC takes the privacy implications of aerial data capture seriously. All aerial photography, videography, and sensor data collected during our professional drone services is owned by the client who contracted the service unless otherwise agreed in writing. We do not sell, share, or distribute aerial imagery or geospatial data captured for a client to any third party without the client’s explicit written consent. Aerial data captured incidentally of neighboring properties or individuals during the course of a contracted flight mission is handled with care and is not used for any purpose other than fulfilling the specific service engagement. We comply with all FAA regulations governing commercial drone operations under 14 CFR Part 107, including altitude, airspace, and operational restrictions that apply to flights across Raleigh, the Triangle, and throughout North Carolina.

6. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances: with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our business, such as payment processors, email marketing platforms, cloud storage providers, and website hosting services; with FAA authorities or other government agencies when required by law or regulation; with your explicit consent, for example when sharing aerial deliverables with your designated team members or stakeholders; and in response to valid legal processes including subpoenas, court orders, or government investigations.

7. Data Security

Drone Studio NC implements reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information and aerial data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. All client deliverables are transmitted via encrypted cloud links. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal information and project data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, maintain our business records, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. Aerial photography, videography, and geospatial deliverables are typically retained on our secure servers for up to 90 days following final delivery to the client, after which they may be archived or deleted unless a longer retention period is agreed upon in your service contract.
