Why Does My Mobile App For My Pro 2 Demand Access To My Contact List & Browser History?

Mobil app for my arlo pro 2 system demands access to my contact list and browser history. WHY??????

Does the big box stores and their customers know about this privacy intrusion?

or do they need to be informed?

Which app - iOS or Android? On Android, there's nothing about browser history. Don't forget that various features need access to various resources. Contacts are needed for e911, for instance. On my tablet, I have no permissions activated but then I don't need it to use any of the features that would require access. The phone is a different matter.

Hi, we have an andriod phone and an apple phone. Both ARLO downloads for the phone demand access to the contact list (the ARLO app. works great on our i-pad mini). We do not want this privacy invasion of our phones nor do I am sure thousands of big box customers. Can we purchase the ARLO app. for each phone where our privacy and others within our phones are protected ?
