Because it has to share the airspace with other users, a UAV operator for both commercial and private (leisure) activities are subject to Civil Aviation Authorities regulation in most of the countries in the world.
If you plan to operate a drone for commercial or private use, we highly recommend you to have a close look at the drone regulation in the country you plan to fly, before starting any application.
In case of such legislation doesn’t exist in your operation country and also for your common knowledge, we recommend you to check and apply the flight safety guide procedures on site before flights. It contains many safety requirements that are necessary to insure a secure flight.
You can check through the link below for information on a country-by-country basis for individual countries regulations regarding the use and operation of Remotely Piloted Vehicles.
