  • Eufy has begun removing and changing the wording of its own privacy and security policies from its website.
  • The company has yet to fully address security issues found over two weeks ago.
  • Eufy previously had camera footage privacy breaches in May 2021, further compounding issues with the company's products.

Eufy went from a darling brand of many tech sites and mainstream outlets to a brand whose trust evaporated nearly overnight. The events of late November and the previous year's similar issues led to an official "no recommendation" stance on Eufy products.

Eufy users should remove all their cameras from their premises now that we've upgraded that warning. You can find a list of the best Eufy camera alternatives if you want to replace them with something more reliable.

The recommendation changed. Eufy has begun removing security and privacy promises from its own website instead of addressing the issues put forth against the company's products. If you look at the company's website on archive.org and compare it to the current Eufy Privacy Commitment page, you'll notice some parts have been changed. We found a lot of major changes.

The image is the first of three.

We found these three to be the most heinous changes to the Privacy Policy website. Some of the wording on the company's policies seems to have been changed to make them clearer, but these are not just clarifications.

Eufy users should sunset their cameras as soon as possible as Eufy has begun to change its policies and promises. Since the initial November incidents which send up red flags about Eufy's behavior, the company hasn't responded.

Any remaining trust in the company's products is completely eroded by changing the terms of service. If these policy changes don't bother you, there's no telling what else Eufy will change in the future.
