Thank you so much for that. I did not know that my drone automatically sends its location to DGI for every flight. That part was especially interesting to me. The needs of security and privacy are always in conflict, everywhere you go, and it's very interesting to see how they've addressed this challenge.
"Location Check Data is collected by DJI drones and used to determine the location where the drone is operating based on GPS data, IP address, and/or mobile network ID (MCC ID). Historically, the GO app has transmitted Location Check Data to DJI servers for two important purposes that are crucial to the safe and compliant operation of our products:
To update location-specific geofencing flight limitations and warnings such as in restricted airspace, temporary flight restrictions or no fly zones (NFZs), as may be implemented by governments including the US government. This location data is designed to meet important safety and security needs while also respecting the privacy rights of people and businesses who use our products. Policymakers in Washington, Brussels, and elsewhere have emphasized the safety contributions of geofencing technologies, and we are proud to have the most robust geofencing system on the market. Airspace restrictions and the status of ground facilities change over time, which is why we need to check each drone’s location in order for the user to obtain updated information for the surrounding area prior to flight. We have used this mechanism to provide protection from wayward drones at such events as the Olympic Games in Brazil, the G7 summit in Japan, the Super Bowl in the United States, and the firefighting efforts in California." |
