The Arlo website uses Google's reCAPTCHA service on at least its email sign-up form, and the agreement states that Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply in connection with that feature.
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

"This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.Excerpt from Arlo's Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The reCAPTCHA integration and the accompanying reference to Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service may engage GDPR Article 13 and Article 14 disclosure requirements for EU users, as well as CCPA disclosure obligations for California residents, to the extent that Google processes personal data through the reCAPTCHA service. The FTC has oversight over third-party data sharing disclosures under Section 5 of the FTC Act. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. The disclosure of reCAPTCHA use and reference to Google's terms is a standard industry practice for sites using this service. However, compliance teams should confirm that the data processing relationship with Google is documented in applicable records of processing activities and that consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements where applicable. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and EEA users face heightened exposure under GDPR, which may require explicit identification of Google as a data processor or controller, the legal basis for processing, and any cross-border data transfer mechanisms. California residents may have CCPA-relevant rights regarding data processed by Google through this integration. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Compliance and procurement teams should confirm that a Data Processing Agreement or equivalent instrument governs Arlo's relationship with Google in the context of reCAPTCHA, particularly for EU-facing deployments. Google's standard terms for reCAPTCHA may not satisfy all GDPR controller-processor contractual requirements without supplementary agreements. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should review whether Arlo's privacy notice adequately discloses the reCAPTCHA integration and the associated Google data processing, and whether cookie consent or equivalent mechanisms are triggered by reCAPTCHA activation in jurisdictions requiring prior consent.
