Impact Summary

Low Neutral for users
Affected users
All users

Arlo added a single sentence to their privacy policy on May 21, 2026 stating that the site is protected by reCAPTCHA and that Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply. Previously, this disclosure was not present in the policy. The updated language informs users that Google's reCAPTCHA service is in use and that Google's separate privacy and terms frameworks govern that component.

What this means for you

The updated privacy policy now explicitly states that Arlo's site uses Google's reCAPTCHA service and that Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply to reCAPTCHA interactions. This disclosure clarifies that users' interactions with the CAPTCHA verification system are subject to Google's separate privacy framework, not solely Arlo's privacy terms. No new user action is required; this is a clarification of existing functionality.
