I wrote about an important geolocation privacy case currently from California <a href="http://www.williamsmullen.com/news/forecasting-future-what-learn-weather-channel-apps-geolocation-lawsuit" target="_blank">here</a>. It bears following, as does <a href="https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190125/state-supreme-court-mom-can-continue-six-flags-suit-over-fingerprinting-and-privacy" target="_blank">this decision</a> from the Illinois Supreme Court. The Illinois decision is an important one because in many privacy cases courts require a plaintiff to show harm, which can be difficult to do. If plaintiffs do not have to overcome that high bar in order to bring a lawsuit, many more will follow. </div>

Engadget is <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/01/04/la-sues-weather-channel-app-owner-over-fraudulent-data-use/" target="_blank">reporting</a> that the Los Angeles City Attorney has filed a complaint against the company behind The Weather Channel App (the "App") claiming its collection of geolocation information violated the state's unfair competition law. The <a href="https://int.nyt.com/data/documenthelper/554-l-a-weather-app-location/8980fd9af72915412e31/optimized/full.pdf" target="_blank">claim</a> alleges that the App does not provide consumers adequate disclosure as to how geolocation information is shared with third parties, including affiliates of IBM, the company's parent. Specifically, the complaint alleges that when seeking consent to collect a customer's geolocation information, the App only refers to providing personalized weather information and alerts and does not reference the App privacy policy. Although the privacy policy does provide a more complete description of how the geolocation information is shared, the city attorney claims that customers have no reason to review it based upon the initial consent.<br />
<br />
The lawsuit follows a recent <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/12/10/business/location-data-privacy-apps.html?smid=tw-share" target="_blank">New York Times article</a> on how geolocation information on consumers is collected and used. In fact, the article is specifically referenced in the complaint, suggesting the article may have prompted the lawsuit. It also highlights growing privacy concerns associated with the collection and use of geolocation and other types of geospatial information. These concerns were manifested in a number of ways in 2018, such as including the regulation of location information in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), <a href="http://my.uniformlaws.org/committees/community-home/librarydocuments?communitykey=2cb85e0d-0a32-4182-adee-ee15c7e1eb20&tab=librarydocuments" target="_blank">continued efforts</a> by states in the U.S. to regulate the collection of data from drones, and the U.S. Supreme Court's <u><a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/16-402_h315.pdf" target="_blank">Carpenter </a></u>decision. Organizations that are collecting and using geospatial information should prepare for greater scrutiny in 2019. </div>

Each year I try to summarize what I believe are the major spatial law and policy stories over the past 12 months. I try to focus on issues that cut across both legal and policy disciplines as well as technology domains. I try not to just focus on those that get the most media attention, but also issues that I think represent broader trends of where spatial law and policy is headed.<br />
<br />
(As I mentioned recently on Twitter, in preparing the 2018 review, I came across the 2010 review in <a href="http://spatiallaw.blogspot.com/2010/12/top-10-spatial-law-stories-of-2010.html" target="_blank">this post</a>. It is worth a quick read, even if just to see how much as changed, and how much has remained the same.)<br />
<br />
<u>Privacy</u><br />
<br />
Privacy issues associated with geospatial information continued to be a big topic in 2018. For example, in January, there was a report that geolocation information from users of the Strava fitness app that was made publicly available could be used to follow the movements of US military personnel at facilities that were supposed to be secret.<br />
<div>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">

</div>
<div>
<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></div>
</div>
<div>
Due in part to the backlash from these reports, Strava <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/13/17115810/strava-heat-map-update-refresh-private" target="_blank">announced</a> that it was changing its data handling practices. However, in doing so, are they limiting the value of geospatial information for such uses valuable use described below? And if so, do lawmakers understand geospatial technology well enough to balance it perceived risks versus its potential benefits? </div>

</div>
<div>
<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></div>
</div>
<div>
Location privacy associated with data collected from mobile devices also received a great deal of attention. In June, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/16-402_h315.pdf" target="_blank">Carpenter v. United States</a> that law enforcement needed to obtain a warrant in order to obtain historical cell phone location data.<br />
<br />
Also, this year, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect. Most are aware of the impact that GDPR has had on data protection and privacy across the globe. However, the GDPR is particularly notable for the geospatial community as "location data" is included in the definition of personal data. Similarly. the <a href="https://www.dataprotectionreport.com/2018/08/california-consumer-privacy-act-gdpr-like-definition-of-personal-information/" target="_blank">California Consumer Protection Act</a>, which passed in 2018 and will become effective in 2020 includes "geolocation data" as personal information. You can expect more of this type of legislation as stories such as this <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/12/10/business/location-data-privacy-apps.html?smid=tw-share" target="_blank">one </a>from the New York Times are published.<br />
<br />
Two other developments of note. In <u>Naperville Smart Meter Awareness v. City of Naperville</u>, the <a href="https://privacyinternational.org/blog/2234/privacy-win-us-court-says-fourth-amendment-protects-smart-meter-data" target="_blank">court found </a>that a public utility's collection of data from smart meters was an invasion of privacy as the data reveals "<a href="https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/ca7/16-3766/16-3766-2018-08-16.html" target="_blank">information about the happenings inside of a home</a>". And in Canada, noted privacy expert Ann Cavoukian <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/oct/23/toronto-smart-city-surveillance-ann-cavoukian-resigns-privacy" target="_blank">resigned</a> from Toronto's smart city program due to her concerns over data privacy.<br />
<u><br /></u>
<u>Geospatial Information Management</u><br />
<br />
I was pleased to work with UN-GGIM in establishing the <a href="http://ggim.un.org/UNGGIM-wg7/" target="_blank">Working Group on Legal and Policy for Geospatial Information Management. </a> The Working Group held its first meeting in January of this year. One of the Working Group's first acts was to approve the <a href="http://ggim.un.org/ggim_20171012/docs/meetings/GGIM7/Agenda%208%20-%20Compendium%20on%20Licensing%20of%20Geospatial%20Information.pdf" target="_blank">Compendium on the Licensing of Geospatial Information</a>.</div>
<br />
Several nations took important measures that could impact geospatial information management in 2018. The United States passed the Geospatial Data Act of 2018. The Act codified many of the existing geospatial information management practices of OMB Circular A-16 and related guidance. However, it also makes some changes, including greater Congressional oversight. Time will tell as to what impact it will have on the geospatial community in the U.S. Also, Singapore, in my opinion one of the leaders in geospatial information management, entered into an <a href="https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2018/07/13/the-world-bank-and-singapore-land-authority-sign-mou-to-promote-greater-use-of-geospatial-information-and-technology-for-sustainable-urban-development" target="_blank">MOU </a>with the World Bank to promote greater use of geospatial information for sustainable urban development.<br />

. . . and <a href="http://trajectorymagazine.com/when-selective-blurring-backfires/" target="_blank">the solution</a>.<br />
<u><br /></u>
<u>Open Data</u><br />
<div>
<br />
Open Data has been a big issue in spatial law and policy for the past several years. While, the global trend is for making more government data "open", there was some push back in 2018. Perhaps the biggest example of this was a report that <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-04874-y" target="_blank">US government was considering charging for Landsat data</a>. Such a measure would be a fundamental change in US policy and would impact a number of user in government, academy, research, and private industry.</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<u>Intellectual Property Rights in Geospatial Information</u><br />
<br />
I continue to believe that intellectual property issues associated with geospatial information will become an important issue, given the complexity of the issues involved and the uncertainty associated with some aspects of the law. One <a href="https://abovethelaw.com/2018/10/politicians-start-to-push-for-autonomous-vehicle-data-to-be-protected-by-copyright-or-database-rights/" target="_blank">example</a> of what we might see in the future is an effort to give intellectual property protection to data collected from autonomous vehicles. Thankfully, an <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/24/us/monkey-selfie-peta-appeal/index.html" target="_blank">important case in this field was resolved</a> in 2018.<br />
<br />
<u>Drones</u><br />
<br />
Governments around the world continue to struggle with how to balance the potential of drones with the perceived risks. In the United States, the Uniform Law Commission, a respected organization that provides draft legislation for states in an effort to promote uniformity, <a href="http://www.uniformlaws.org/shared/docs/drones,%20tort%20law%20relating%20to/2018am_drones_draft.pdf" target="_blank">came out in support</a> of giving states greater rights to regulate drone activities. This would be in significant change to the current legal regime in which the Federal Aviation Administration is responsible for the national airspace. Until this issue is definitely resolved, we can expect more of <a href="https://www.tapinto.net/towns/middletown/articles/drone-invasion-gopal-works-to-protect-residents-safety-privacy" target="_blank">this</a>.<br />
<br />
In the United Kingdom, government authorities are struggling to address the aftermath of the <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-drones-gatwick-airport/gatwick-airport-says-has-suspended-runway-again-after-drone-reports-idUSKCN1OK1Z8?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=Social&__twitter_impression=true" target="_blank">incident</a> in December that shutdown Gatewick airport during the busy holiday season. The complexity of these issues explain why the African Union and the New Partnership for Africa's Development highlighted in its report, <span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">“<a href="https://rpas-regulations.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/African-Union_Drone-Report_Transforming-Africas-Agriculture_EN_180608.pdf" target="_blank">Drones Under the Horizon: Transforming Africa’s Agriculture</a>, the importance of a legal and policy framework. The report states "</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">UAV regulations are still in its infancy in Africa,
the making and the presence of too restrictive, or even disabling regulations
governing the import and use of UAVs can hinder the development of a very
promising industry."</span><br />
<u><br /></u>
<u>Satellites</u><br />
<br />
Advancements in satellite and sensor technology are also driving spatial law and policy.<br />

The proposed rules are intended to make it easier to obtain a license so as to make the U.S. more competitive in earth observation. It is also intended to help avoid edge cases such as those that arose in connection with a <a href="https://spacenews.com/noaa-explains-restriction-on-spacex-launch-webcast/" target="_blank">Space X launch in March</a>.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: blue;">Please find below an excellent blog post by Conor Barry, a student intern at the United States Geospatial Intelligence Founcation (USGIF), giving his perspective on a lawsuit that was recently filed concerning geolocation privacy in the workplace. Important reading for employers and location based service providers alike.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">As a
college student with a year left in school, there are a number of concerns that
I, as a soon-to-be graduate, have about the working world. Some of those
concerns are financial, like how much money I will be making and how much I
will have to spend on rent and other living expenses? Some other concerns might
be cultural, like where will I live or what kind of differences will I have to
adjust to now that I am no longer a student, how will my responsibilities
change? These are the questions that I expect to be asking myself in a year’s
time. Something I do not expect to be asking myself is, “How, or is, my
employer tracking my whereabouts with my company-issued smartphone?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">This may
seem like an odd question, or a question that should not have to be asked by
persons in the workforce. Unfortunately, this question has come about, most
notably, in a recent </span><a href="http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Intermexcomplaint.pdf"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">court case</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"> between Myrna Arias and her former
employer </span><a href="http://intermexonline.com/"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Intermex Wire Transfer</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">. In early May 2014, Arias was
fired from her job at Intermex for uninstalling the Xora StreetSmart app, from
her smartphone because of the location tracking service the app provides to her
employer. Arias’ suit against Intermex claims invasion of privacy, retaliation,
unfair business practices, and other allegations, seeking damages upwards of
$500,000, and claims the monitoring app was activated on weekends and other
personal time (</span><a href="http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/05/worker-fired-for-disabling-gps-app-that-tracked-her-24-hours-a-day/"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Kravets 2015</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Upon her
hiring, Arias’ supervisors at Intermex requested she install </span><a href="http://www.xora.com/products/streetsmart/"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Xora</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"> on her work phone. Arias was
terminated for removing the app from her company issued phone because she
believed the services the app provides to employers was invading her privacy. Arias
claims she was not opposed to the app for work purposes, but rejected the idea
that the phone, and subsequently the app itself, must be on during personal
time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">According
to Xora’s website, the Xora app provides the ability, “to drill down into the
map and see specifically what is happening at each stop. Review how long a
mobile worker has been there, the address, what actions they are taking and the
status of the mobile app.” This app can provide employers with a vast amount of
data about their employees, their actions, their tendencies, and their personal
preferences. In summary, the app can provide an employer with an enormous
amount of personal data about its employees. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">I did not
entirely understand the enormity of this court case until I read another article
about this ordeal where some concerns about privacy were highlighted. In a <i>Washington Post</i> </span><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2015/05/14/some-companies-are-tracking-workers-with-smartphone-apps-what-could-possibly-go-wrong/"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">article</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">, Andrea Peterson dives into the
serious implications of location services being overextended on employees. The
author outlines some important points shared by Jay Stanley, a senior policy
analyst with the American Civil Liberties Union: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: .5in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">“Employers have legitimate reasons
for monitoring their workers, but all too often we see that kind of tracking
spilling over into the private parts of their lives…When you know everywhere
someone’s been, you know a lot about their lives – you know not only where they
work and live, but who their friends are, who their lovers are, what doctors
they might visit – the list just goes on and on.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">This was a
very frightening realization. The idea that one’s employer can use smartphones,
the devices that connect us to the rest of the world, negatively against a person
is unnerving. This is even more concerning because in many instances, employers
are providing company-issued cell phones to employees. If these phones are
coming equipped with apps like Xora, or if employers are requiring these apps
be installed on company cell phones, where can the line be drawn to best
protect the privacy of users?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">As a
student who will be entering the workforce in a year’s time, I would have to
side with Arias. I do not believe that there is any reason for my employer to
demand I keep a company-issued phone activated and on my person at all times,
whether I am working or not. The tracking abilities apps and phones now provide
can be manipulated and used in ways that can be an invasion of privacy to
individuals. I would not be open to the idea of future employers tracking my
whereabouts on personal time, but the outcome of this court case will provide
insight regarding the limitations of employers to use location services to
monitor employees. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">There has been a great deal written recently about the
Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) release of proposed regulation
concerning the commercial use of Unmanned Aviation Vehicles (UAVs) – or drones.
(An informative discussion of the proposed regulations can be found <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/faa-releases-proposed-rules-for-domestic-drone-use/2015/02/15/6787bdce-b51b-11e4-a200-c008a01a6692_story.html" target="_blank">here</a>.) Much of what has been written
has quite accurately pointed out that the proposed regulations are much more progressive
than many had feared and could be the precursor of a budding commercial UAV </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">industry in the United States. For example, under the proposed
regulations an individual will not have to be a certified pilot to operate a
UAV for commercial purposes. In addition, the ceiling for small UAV operations
has been extended to 500 feet; previously the FAA has limited operations to 400
feet and below. However, the proposed
regulations are subject to change after a public comment period and likely will
not become final until 2017.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">Unfortunately, there has been much less
attention paid to a memo released by the White House in conjunction with the
proposed regulations. The document, titled “<a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2015/02/15/presidential-memorandum-promoting-economic-competitiveness-while-safegua" target="_blank">The Presidential Memorandum:Promoting Economic Competitiveness While Safeguarding Privacy, Civil Rights,and Civil Liberties in Domestic Use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems</a>” (the “Memo”)
will constrain the ability of federal agencies to use data that is collected
from UAVs. In addition, the
Memo may portend future limitations for commercial use.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">For example, the Memo states that data
collected from UAVs that “may" contain Personally Identifiable Information
(PII) must be deleted after 180 days unless (i) necessary to an “authorized
mission”, (ii) maintained in a system of records or (iii) required by law to be
maintained longer. Six months is not much time to process, analyze and
distribute data, particularly for a federal agency. Moreover, since the
requirements associated with a “system of records” under the Privacy Act can be
onerous and that there are few existing laws that pertain directly to the
storage of UAV data, government agencies will likely struggle with trying to determine constitutes
an “authorized mission.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">Similarly, the Memo provides that if data
collected from a UAV is not stored in a “system of records” it may not be
disseminated outside of an agency unless (i) required by law or (ii) it fulfills
an “authorized purpose" and complies with agency requirements. This
restriction will likely make it more difficult for federal agencies to share
data with other federal agencies or with their state counterparts. As a result,
federal agencies will find it difficult to use UAV data for important applications, such as
disaster response, or to comply with <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars_a016_rev/" target="_blank">stated federal objectives to readily share data with other agencies</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

to provide proper oversight for individuals who have access to “sensitive data”,
including PII. This requirement could prove burdensome, given the ambiguity
associated with what constitutes “sensitive data” and the changing nature of
what constitutes PII. In addition, agencies must adopt rules of conduct for both
federal government personnel and contractors as well as introduce procedures
for misuse of such data. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

enterprises that wish to use UAVs. The federal government should be a major consumer
of UAV data. Unfortunately some federal
agencies may be unwilling to take advantage of the many potential benefits associated
with UAVs due to the requirements imposed by the Memo, since data collected
from sensors on other platforms (such as manned aircraft) are not subject to
the same requirements. In addition, the Memo highlights the Obama Administration’s
likely approach in the upcoming multi-stakeholder process to address concerns
associated with commercial use of UAVs. For example, by specifically citing
civil liberties and civil rights, the Administration is suggesting that its concerns
go well beyond privacy. In addition, by requiring federal agencies to protect
data that “might” contain PII or that is “sensitive”, the Obama Administration is
suggesting that existing privacy constructs are not sufficient. This approach
would be consistent with the conclusions of the White House <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/microsites/ostp/PCAST/pcast_big_data_and_privacy_-_may_2014.pdf" target="_blank">Big Data report</a>
released by the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology last
May. The report highlighted the privacy challenges associated with rapid
adoption of sensors that can collect a variety of data types. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">As a result, while the FAA’s proposed
regulations are a big step forward in the commercial adoption of UAVs, there
are still significant hurdles that commercial operators will need to overcome. The
ability of UAVs to collect high quality data in a timely manner for a
reasonable price is one of the many benefits associated with this technology. However, as the Memo
indicates, it will also be one of the challenges that industry will face.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Each week the Centre for Spatial Law and Policy prepares the Spatial Law and Policy Update for its <a href="http://spatiallaw.com/individual-membership.php" target="_blank">members</a>. The Update contains approximately 20-25 links to recent developments that will impact the collection/use/processing/storage/distribution of geoinformation. Its purpose is to educate members on the legal and policy framework that is developing around the world concerning geoinformation. Because of the many ways in which geoinformation is collected and used, the Update cuts across both legal/policy disciplines and technology platforms.<br />
<br />
The January 13, 2015 Spatial Law and Policy Update can be found below:<br />

Each December, I have listed the top Spatial Law and Policy stories from the past year. (For those of you who have the time, it is interesting to go back over the past several years to see how the issues - and the technology - have evolved: <a href="http://spatiallaw.blogspot.com/2013/12/icymi-top-5-spatial-law-and-policy.html" target="_blank">2013</a>, <a href="http://spatiallaw.blogspot.com/2012/12/top-10-spatial-law-and-policy-stories.html" target="_blank">2012</a>, <a href="http://spatiallaw.blogspot.com/2011/12/spatial-law-and-policy-top-10-stories.html" target="_blank">2011</a>, <a href="http://spatiallaw.blogspot.com/2010/12/top-10-spatial-law-stories-of-2010.html" target="_blank">2010)</a>. This year I have decided to focus on the legal and policy developments around the globe concerning UAVs. The reason, as those of you who subscribe to the <a href="http://spatiallaw.com/" target="_blank">Centre for Spatial Law and Policy's</a> weekly update know, is that I believe that the issues surrounding UAVs are representative of the larger issues facing the geospatial community. Moreover, issues such as location privacy are being driven due to concerns over UAVs. After all, it is all about the data:<br />

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">

Lawmakers and regulators around the world are struggling to apply existing laws, policies and regulations to the expected proliferation of UAVs. In the U.S., commercial use of UAVs had for all practical purposes been prohibited. Thankfully, this began to change in 2014, as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) began to grant <a href="https://www.faa.gov/uas/legislative_programs/section_333/" target="_blank">Section 333 exemptions</a> under the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012. The FAA is expected to release proposed rules regarding the use of small UAVs for commercial purposes very soon. Unfortunately, early reports suggest that the FAA continues to view regulating UAVs through an outdated prism:<br />
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">
The FAA is expected to rule that drone operators must have a pilot's license: <a href="http://t.co/KV9YDNOogT">http://t.co/KV9YDNOogT</a> <a href="http://t.co/ONsaYCx0Rq">pic.twitter.com/ONsaYCx0Rq</a><br />

</blockquote>
Other countries also re-examined their approach to UAVs in 2014. In some cases, this has resulted in more <a href="http://www.iol.co.za/capetimes/film-industry-concerned-about-camera-drone-ban-1.1689174" target="_blank">restrictions </a>and <a href="http://dgca.nic.in/public_notice/PN_UAS.pdf" target="_blank">prohibitions</a>. Fortunately, in some countries it has resulted in <a href="http://news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?nid=900449" target="_blank">simpler and more transparent laws and policies.</a><br />
<br />
Geopatial technology and applications that use geospatial information in new and innovative ways are proving to be equally disruptive. For example, in 2014 regulators in the U.S. finally reduced the <a href="http://spacenews.com/40874us-government-eases-restrictions-on-digitalglobe/" target="_blank">resolution restrictions </a>on commercial remote sensing satellites. Similarly, lawmakers and regulators around the world <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-12-10/uber-blocked-from-brazil-to-california-as-legal-hurdles-mount.html" target="_blank">delayed or restricted</a> the popular ride-sharing service Uber (which leverages the location of drivers and potential customers using geospatial technology) for failing to comply with applicable taxicab regulations. Ironically, <a href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304518704579521744171356588" target="_blank">some in France</a> have suggested that Uber drop using maps in its apps as a solution.<br />
<br />
2. <b>Importance of Courts</b><br />
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">

In the U.S., the FAA's inability to keep pace with the rapid technological advancements and proliferation of UAVs has resulted in <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2014/09/24/litigation-pushes-back-against-faa-enforcement/" target="_blank">litigation</a>. In perhaps the most important decision, the National Transportation Safety Board <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/johngoglia/2014/11/18/ntsb-overturns-pirker-finds-for-faa-that-drones-are-aircraft-subject-to-its-rules/" target="_blank">ruled</a> that the FAA had the authority to fine a UAV operator for reckless actions.<br />
<br />
Courts played a critical role in other spatial law issues in 2014. For example, there were a number of decisions in the U.S. that could have a significant impact on law enforcement's use of geospatial information. The New Mexico Supreme Court agreed to review <a href="https://www.epic.org/amicus/drones/new-mexico/davis/" target="_blank">a lower court's decision </a>that law enforcement's use of a manned aircraft to fly over a defendant's backyard without a warrant to see if there were any marijuana plants violated the defendant's privacy rights under New Mexico's state constitution. Moreover, <a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/12/federal-court-agrees-eff-throws-out-six-weeks-warrantless-video-surveillance" target="_blank"> a federal judge reportedly ruled</a> recently that law enforcement could not use information collected by placing a video camera on public property:<br />
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">

— Ryan Calo (@rcalo) <a href="https://twitter.com/rcalo/status/543921756193300481">December 14, 2014</a></blockquote>
Similarly, in Europe, <a href="http://www.uasvision.com/2014/12/16/eu-court-ruling-means-civilian-use-of-drones-in-public-must-comply-with-data-protection-laws/" target="_blank">commentators believe</a> that due to a recent decision by the Court of Justice in the EU concerning security cameras, private citizens operating UAVs will have to comply with data protection laws.<br />
<br />
3. <b>Privacy</b><br />

<br />
There were a number of legal and policy developments in 2014 involving privacy concerns associated with the proliferation of UAVs. For example, in the U.S. several more states passed laws restricting both the collection of data by UAVs and the subsequent use of such data by both <a href="http://www.news-record.com/news/government/keeping-an-eye-out-new-n-c-law-regulates-drone/article_095b7f8c-1f6c-11e4-80e0-0017a43b2370.html" target="_blank">government agencies</a> and <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2014/07/01/tennessee-pro-gunpro-hunting-bills-to-take-effect-today/" target="_blank">private individuals</a>. (We can expect<a href="http://www.unionleader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20141214/NEWS0621/141219532/-1/news" target="_blank"> more such legislation</a> in 2015). In addition, <a href="http://www.markey.senate.gov/documents/MRW13745.pdf" target="_blank">a bill </a>was introduced in Congress that would have a similar effect - although it is unlikely to pass. There have also been a number of reports that the White House will issue an <a href="http://www.politico.com/morningtech/0714/morningtech14761.html" target="_blank">executive order </a>directing the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to make recommendations on drone privacy. Many <a href="http://ec.europa.eu/DocsRoom/documents/7662" target="_blank">other countries</a> examined their existing <a href="http://dronelaw.blogspot.com/2014/10/privacy-and-data-protection-new-code-of.html" target="_blank">privacy/data protection laws </a>in anticipation of the proliferation of UAVs.<br />

Concerns over other types of geolocation privacy were also a big issue in 2014. In May, the White House issued two reports on Big Data and privacy, one of which - <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/microsites/ostp/PCAST/pcast_big_data_and_privacy_-_may_2014.pdf" target="_blank">Big Data and Privacy - A Technology Perspective</a> - specifically cited privacy concerns associated with geospatial technologies such as radar and LiDAR. In addition, there were numerous media reports over privacy concerns associated with how businesses and government agencies were using location information. In some instances these reports were <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/11/07/federal-sites-leaked-the-locations-of-people-seeking-aids-services-for-years/" target="_blank">more speculative in nature</a>. Other reports, if true, <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2014/10/03/god-view-uber-allegedly-stalked-users-for-party-goers-viewing-pleasure/" target="_blank">were quite troubling </a>- and showed a general insensitivity to the nature of the information. In some instances, businesses decided to <a href="http://bigstory.ap.org/article/66718489db5346fd92f4342e3e9d69cf/new-york-cancels-phone-booth-transmitter-program" target="_blank">withdraw </a>products and services due to privacy concerns associated with location information, even though no laws had been violated.<br />

4 <b>Potential Liability Concerns</b><br />

The potential for UAVs to cause damage to property and individuals were well documented in 2014. There were similar <a href="http://www.nj.com/hunterdon-county-democrat/index.ssf/2014/03/cell_phone_use_led_to_route_52.html" target="_blank">examples</a> concerning other geospatial technology. Over time we can expect that the legal system will sort out the responsibilities (and associated liabilities) of the various actors. In many instances this will simply mean applying existing laws to the facts. In other instances, it may require new laws to address specific concerns. In either case, it will take some time for these issues to be sorted out. In the meantime, we can expect a great deal of uncertainty, and some unusual court cases.<br />

5. <b>Intellectual Property Rights in the Data</b><br />
<br />
One area that did not receive much attention in 2014 in connection with UAVs was who will own the vast amount of data that will be collected. This issue will become more important as commercial uses for UAVs become more commonplace. People generally do not give much thought as to how companies use images (and other remote sensing data) that is collected about them from satellites or manned aircraft. However, we should expect that some will have a very different view when they see a neighbor profiting from images of their property.<br />
<br />
Such concerns are becoming more common with regard to <a href="http://farmprogress.com/story-precision-data-ownership-concerns-farmers-9-99263" target="_blank">other types of geospatial information</a>. In fact, some have suggested that uncertainty over ownership rights in personal data could hinder the development of the <a href="http://www.fiercebigdata.com/story/data-ownership-question-may-shut-whole-internet-things-down/2014-11-17" target="_blank">Internet of Things</a>. The issue will become even more critical (and complex) as companies such as <a href="http://www.fiercebigdata.com/story/data-ownership-question-may-shut-whole-internet-things-down/2014-11-17" target="_blank">Terbine</a> and <a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/corporate-intelligence/2014/11/13/farm-startup-seeks-to-profit-from-harvesting-big-data/" target="_blank">Farmobile</a> emerge.<br />
<br />
The link between spatial law and UAVs became apparent in 2014. I expect we will see more of a convergence in 2015. <br />
