First, let me state that I am not trying to conduct any illegal activities and hide my tracks, I just have concerns in general about privacy and not sharing too much information. I have also perused the DJI GO App and Your Privacy thread and see some justifiable concerns. Although, I am not necessarily against supporting the community with the use of aggregated data to improve the technology and functions, I am concerned with the release of individual personal information.
My question is to what extent is privacy at risk with the uses of DJI products; Phantom, DJI Go, skipixel as well as third party applications and services; Litchi, DroneDeploy, PhantomHelp logviewer, HealthyDrones, NVDrones, etc. I like the functionality of many of these services, track all my flight data for personal records, and the ability to share specific flight data.
My thought is if I am flying around a house often, it is easy to make the assumption that is my residence by reviewing flight log data. If I also have some videos and pictures publicly available on social media one might be able to ascertain information about family, vehicles, professional affiliations, etc. Combine with other public knowledge information this can become quite intrusive.
Am I over paranoid? Probably, but is there any justification behind this? Maybe.
I have already accepted the fact that China has signification amounts of my personal information, but I choose not to personally disclose any more than necessary.
