Survey data (not personal data)
Point clouds, orthomosaics, LiDAR scans and geospatial deliverables are professional outputs produced under contract. They relate to land features and infrastructure, not identifiable persons, and fall outside personal-data law. Where a survey may incidentally capture images of individuals, we apply data minimisation and delete incidental imagery not required as a deliverable.
