What it is

Arlo uses a tool called VWO to record visitor sessions on its website, capturing how users move, click, and scroll. This recording applies across all pages of the main arlo.com domain, excluding only the my.arlo.com subdomain.

This analysis describes what Arlo's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Session recording can capture a detailed replay of everything you do on Arlo's site, including browsing products, adding items to your cart, and progressing through checkout, which goes beyond standard analytics data collection.

Interpretive note: The document confirms session recording is deployed but does not disclose whether input masking, consent gating, or data retention limits are in place; the practical scope of data captured depends on VWO's configuration settings not visible in this document.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Your mouse movements, clicks, scrolls, and interactions on Arlo's product and checkout pages may be recorded and stored by VWO, a third-party behavioral analytics provider, without necessarily being prominently disclosed at the point of interaction.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Visit Arlo's website, locate the cookie consent or privacy settings link (typically in the footer), open the OneTrust preference center, and disable the 'Analytics' or 'Performance' cookie category to prevent VWO session recording from activating on your device.
