Creating a privacy culture among Europe’s UA professionals

DroneRules is the one-stop resource for regulations related to the use of drones in Europe. Funded by the EU under the COSME Programme.

Drones are becoming a ubiquitous technology used both for recreational and professional purposes. This technology is opening new industries and new markets quickly, and the governments and legislative organs in different countries are rapidly issuing new laws that govern drone usage. There is a pressing need for a unified database of information about drone rules in Europe and DroneRules.eu was created to respond to this need.

When you fly a drone, you become de facto users of the airspace. Airspace is a regulated space and to operate your drone, you must obey the aviation rules applicable in your country. Also, the use of a drone equipped with a camera or other sensor might be highly intrusive. You must always respect others'​ privacy and personal data, complying to the applicable regulations. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations may result in significant financial penalties and/or legal consequences.

It is always your responsibility as the operator of a drone to stay informed about the regulations and restrictions that are applicable. Our website provides you with the basic information and the necessary guidance material on how to responsibly operate a drone in the European airspace.
