Arlo added a disclosure statement to its Terms of Service on May 21, 2026 indicating that the site is protected by reCAPTCHA and that Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply. This notifies users that reCAPTCHA technology operates on the Arlo site and that Google's separate policies govern how Google processes data collected through reCAPTCHA.
The updated Terms of Service now disclose that reCAPTCHA technology protects the site and that Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply to data collected through reCAPTCHA. This clarifies that users interacting with the reCAPTCHA service on Arlo's site are also subject to Google's privacy policies in addition to Arlo's own policies. Users can review Google's privacy policy at any time to understand how Google processes reCAPTCHA data.
The updated terms establish clarity about data processing by a third-party service (Google reCAPTCHA) that users may interact with on Arlo's platform. Users can now understand that both Arlo's policies and Google's separate Privacy Policy govern their experience.

Arlo added a disclosure statement clarifying that reCAPTCHA operates on its platform and that Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply to reCAPTCHA data collection. This is a standard transparency measure for websites using third-party CAPTCHA services.
