“…The US and Canadian remote sensing regulations similarly introduced shutter control regimes (Bohlmann & Soucek, 2018). They address national security rather than personal data in EO applications (Froehlich & Tăiatu, 2020).…”

“…Considering that this definition was initially established for the application of the Principles, EO applications in practice probably present different features. Specifically, the purposes of these activities are not limited to natural resources and the environment (Froehlich & Tăiatu, 2020).…”

“…Delimitation of personal data in EO applications is time-based, meaning that the identifiability of satellite data is decided with consideration of the state of art in technology. With the rapid development of satellite industries, operators shall consider the possibility of identification which can be accomplished after the data has been kept for several years (Froehlich & Tăiatu, 2020). In this context, the EO operators act as the data collector and must secure the consent of data subjects in cases of data collection as well as, if any, storage, processing, and transfer of personal data.…”

“…What matters in space law is that the illegal immigration of people into Europe can be a security problem since people who immigrate in this way are neither controlled nor registered with local official authorities (Aloisio, 2018). Not only this, the border surveillance service provided by the Copernicus is also used for the investigation and prevention of international crime that is not necessarily related to illegal immigration (Froehlich & Tăiatu, 2020). The pressure brought by these issues is how much individual privacy the European citizens are ready to sacrifice for the supposed improvement of safety conditions, entailing the proportionality test of adopted EO applications.…”

Earth Observation Applications and the Right to Privacy: Within and Beyond the COVID-19 Pandemic

Earth Observation (EO) applications interact with many industries and government practices. When EO applications touch upon data being able to identify individuals or certain groups, the processing methods adopted therein entail the balance between public interests in EO applications and the values of privacy protection. It then raises the question of whether and to what extent the EO data comes under privacy protection. This study builds on the methodologies of positive law analysis and normative analysis, with supplementary discussions on the role of EO applications in the COVID-19 pandemic. In recognising the conclusion that the right to privacy entails restrictions on data processing within EO applications, the principle of proportionality calls for solutions to fill the gaps in the regulatory framework. Though legislative solutions are possible in theory, it is not an easy job to get consensus among States in practice. A more appropriate solution lies in introducing a privacy ranking regime internationally, with supplementary enforcement practices on the regional and national levels.
