TECH - Concerned About Privacy? Airbnb Bans Indoor Cameras Globally With Stricter Policies On Privacy Devices | Benzinga
Airbnb, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABNB) said it is banning indoor security cameras in listings globally to prioritize its customers’ privacy.
Historically, Airbnb permitted indoor security cameras in common areas, if disclosed before booking and not in sleeping areas or bathrooms. The new policy bans cameras inside listings, regardless of disclosure.
In addition to prohibiting indoor cameras, the updated policy will introduce stricter guidelines for outdoor cameras and other devices, like noise monitors.
Doorbell cameras and noise decibel monitors remain permissible on Airbnb, offering hosts a privacy-conscious means to safeguard their homes and preempt unauthorized gatherings.
