Note Square doesn’t share your contact information with sellers to whom you haven’t directly given your information. Even when you are receiving automated receipts after making a purchase at a Square Seller, your contact details are not visible to them. When a printed receipt is available, we may show an obfuscated email (e.g., e*****@gmail.com) on the checkout screen.

What is an Automatic Receipt?

When you use a payment card for the first time with a Square Seller, you are asked on the point of sale device to enter your email address or phone number to receive digital receipts for future purchases made with this card via email or text message.

At this point, the email address or phone number is attached to that payment card. If you provided your email address, you will automatically be sent receipts to this address when you make subsequent purchases with that card at Square Sellers without having to enter in your email address each time. However, if you provided your phone number, you will still need to manually choose to receive a receipt via text after each payment with a Square Seller.

Seller Community: See what other Square sellers do when a receipt is sent to the wrong email address or phone number.

There are several ways that your email or phone number may have been mistakenly connected with a purchase you didn’t make: If you share a credit card with other people in your family. If an individual who isn’t the owner of the card (e.g., a spouse or friend) borrowed the credit card and entered their own email at the time of purchase. If a customer makes an error typing their email in at the time of purchase. If a seller accidentally enters an email address that isn’t the customer’s. If an individual made a purchase on behalf of someone else and enters the other person’s email address as the destination of a receipt, etc. **Note**: If your email address or phone number for receipt delivery was entered with a mistake, [let us know](https://squareup.com/help/contact?prefill=unlink_email_from_payment_card) and we can unlink this information from your payment card so you can enter the correct contact information to receive your receipts next time you visit a Square seller. ### How can customers unsubscribe from Square Seller’s receipts? **Note** Square doesn’t share your contact information with sellers you have not directly given it to.
