This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
This change is a disclosure addition, not a substantive policy modification. Arlo has added explicit notice that Google's reCAPTCHA service is deployed and that Google's privacy and terms frameworks govern that component. This is routine disclosure language common across websites using reCAPTCHA. No new compliance obligation is created by this change; it clarifies the applicability of an existing third-party service. Organizations with Arlo in their vendor stack should not require contract or internal policy modifications based on this disclosure alone.
