Any data captured is strictly limited to what is necessary for operational, safety, and contractual purposes

Tribe Drones does not conduct surveillance for the purpose of identifying individuals

Who We Are
Tribe Drones is a UK-based commercial drone operator providing aerial monitoring and data capture services to support event safety, infrastructure inspection, and operational awareness.
Our Approach to Data Protection
1. Our Approach to Data Protection
We operate under a data minimisation and security-first approach. We only collect data that is necessary, we do not use data for unrelated purposes, we do not sell or distribute personal data, and we ensure all data is stored securely and handled to the highest professional standard.
2. What Data We Collect
a) Client & Enquiry Data: Name, email address, and phone number, used strictly for communication, service delivery, and contractual purposes.
b) Technical Website Data: IP address, browser type, and website usage data, used to improve website performance and monitor functionality.
c) Aerial Operational Data: As part of our services, we may capture aerial footage of environments and locations, including incidental imagery of individuals within public or controlled spaces. We do not intentionally capture or process personal data for identification purposes. Any incidental capture is unavoidable in public environments and is handled appropriately.
3. How Data Is Used
We use data strictly for delivering contracted services, supporting event safety and operational awareness, communicating with clients, and meeting legal and regulatory obligations. We do not use personal data for unrelated marketing, profiling, or third-party sales.
4. Data Security & Storage
All data is stored on secure systems, protected using appropriate technical and organisational safeguards, and accessible only to authorised personnel. We ensure all data is held to the highest professional and security standards, with ongoing review of our data handling practices.
5. Data Sharing
We only share data where necessary and appropriate, including with clients as part of service delivery, with regulatory authorities where legally required, and with trusted service providers supporting operations. We do not share data unnecessarily or for commercial resale.
6. Data Retention
Data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil contractual obligations, meet legal or regulatory requirements, and support operational review where relevant. Data is securely deleted when no longer required.
7. Lawful Basis for Processing
We process data under legitimate interest to provide safe and effective services, contractual necessity to fulfil agreed services, and legal obligation where required by law.
8. Your Rights
Under UK data protection law, individuals have rights including access to their data, correction of inaccurate data, request for deletion where applicable, and restriction or objection to processing. Requests will be handled professionally and in accordance with legal requirements.
