Airbnb to Ban All Indoor Security Cameras in Listings Worldwide, Citing Privacy

• Airbnb banning all indoor security cameras in listings worldwide starting April 30th

• Previously allowed cameras in common areas if disclosed, now prohibiting cameras inside homes entirely

• Policy update provides more clarity and alignment with guest expectations around privacy

• Majority of listings don't have security cameras, so update only impacts small subset

• Outdoor cameras still allowed if disclosed, but can't monitor indoor spaces or areas with higher privacy expectations
