Privacy of its Users
SAN JOSE, Calif. and
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2020 /CNW/ -- Arlo Technologies,
Inc. (NYSE: ARLO), the #1 internet connected camera
brand[1], announced today the introduction of the Arlo Privacy
Pledge, underscoring its long-standing promise that puts users'
privacy first. Since day one of Arlo's inception, Arlo's products
and services have been designed with an inherent commitment to
protect and connect people to the things they love most, which Arlo
believes includes a user's right to privacy of their personal
information. Arlo's Privacy Pledge can be viewed now at
Arlo.com/PrivacyPledge.
"Recent news reports have called some companies into question
surrounding their real-world behavior versus their stated privacy
policy," said Matt McRae, CEO. "At
Arlo, we believe privacy is crucial and central to the concept of a
security solution. As such, our only business is providing security
and peace of mind. We don't capture user data for advertising or
sell it to third parties, we don't view or keep data without
consent, and we don't volunteer user data to law enforcement. These
are standards that were established since the launch of our first
Arlo camera, and we're proud to reaffirm our user privacy
commitment with the Arlo Privacy Pledge."

alone.
