Square profile - Privacy Notice for Buyer Features and Square Pay

Effective Date: June 30, 2023

We’ve included annotations in the gray boxes below to emphasize certain portions of our notice and help guide you as you read them. The annotations aren’t summaries, so please take the time to read everything!

If you are a consumer shopping at a business that uses Square and you create a customized account, create a Square profile account, and/or you have signed up to use Square Pay, this Privacy Notice applies to you. This privacy notice explains what data we collect about you, what we do with it, when and why we share it with others, how long we keep it, how we secure it, what cookies are and what they (and similar technologies) do, what data is collected about you by third party service providers, and what choices you have to control your data.

This Privacy Notice describes how Block, Inc. and our affiliates (collectively, “Square,” “we,” and “us”) collect, use, disclose, transfer, store, retain or otherwise process your information when you choose to (i) create a customized account with a Square Seller; (ii) choose to opt in to Square Pay; or (iii) visit this Square profile portal for buyers (“Square profile”) (items (i), (ii) and (iii) are collectively “Buyer Features”).

This Privacy Notice also describes the choices available to you regarding our use of your information, the measures we take to safeguard the personal information and how you can contact us about our privacy practices.

For details about our privacy practices with respect to the information we obtain when you use Squareup.com and when Your Sellers use Square product features other than the Buyer Features, please visit here. Squareup.com also contains information on what other Square product features Your Sellers may use.

For Sellers who apply or sign up for a Square Account, click here to see the privacy notice that applies to you.

Overview

When this Privacy Notice Applies:

This Privacy Notice applies solely to the processing of information that we obtain from you when you:

  • Create an account with a Square seller (Customer Account);
  • Interact with Square by using our Square profile portal (Square Profile); or
  • Use Square Pay (i.e., when you choose to save your contact and payment information with Square to make the checkout process with Your Sellers easier, if the Seller uses Square Pay).
When this Privacy Notice does NOT apply:

This Privacy Notice does not apply when Square is processing your information as a service provider to Your Sellers (instead, other privacy notice applies in those circumstances). When you shop at Your Sellers, we collect certain information on Your Sellers’ behalf as their payment processor. For example, when you make a purchase or interact with a Seller, we may collect:

  • Your signature and payment card information, such as card number, expiration date, and security code;
  • Transaction details, such as when and where the transactions occur, the names of the transacting parties, a description of the transactions, the payment or transfer amounts, and the devices and payment methods used to complete the transactions;
  • Any gift cards you purchase or receive; and
  • Billing and shipping address information

We obtain this information on Your Sellers’ behalf to provide them with our payment processing services. Your Sellers operate independently from us, and your agreement with the relevant Seller governs how the Seller uses and shares this information, including with Square. Each Seller’s privacy practices, including details on the information they may collect about you, are subject to the privacy statements of these Sellers, which we strongly suggest you review. If you have questions about a Seller’s privacy practices, please direct those questions to the Seller.

  • Preferences: including your preferred payment method, preferred shipping method, and preferred delivery address, as well as your preferred communication and marketing preferences; and

COOKIES, OTHER SIMILAR AUTOMATED TECHNOLOGIES, AND ADVERTISING

Digital cookies and similar technologies help us make our services better to use by doing things like analyzing how you use our services so we can make them more useful to you, giving you a more personalized experience, and making ads to you work better.

When you interact with our Square profile portal, or open emails we send you when you use our Buyer Features or Square Pay, we obtain certain information using automated technologies, such as cookies, web server logs, web beacons, and other technologies. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “web beacon,” also known as an internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, is a tiny graphic image that may be used in our Square profile portal or emails.

We use these automated technologies to collect your device information, internet activity information, and inferences as described above. These technologies help us to:

  • Remember your information so you do not have to re-enter it;
  • Track and understand how you use and interact with our Square profile portal;
  • Tailor our online services to your preferences;
  • Measure how useful and effective our services and communications are to you; and
  • Otherwise manage and enhance our products and services.

We set some of these automated technologies ourselves, but others are set by third parties who deliver services on our behalf. For example, we may use other companies’ web analytics services (described in the “Third-Party Analytics Services” section), which use automated technologies to help us evaluate how customers use our websites. Some of these technologies may also be set by third parties that help us advertise our products and services to you as informed by your interests, based on information collected from your activity on the web, including but not limited to, browsing or purchasing products on or through our websites or on third party websites or your activity on mobile sites and applications. This advertising approach is called interest-based advertising or “targeted advertising.”

Your browser can alert you when cookies are placed on your device, and how you can stop or disable them via your browser settings. More information on how to manage these settings on common browsers and devices are below.

Please note, however, that without cookies all of the features of our Square profile portal may not work properly. If you use a mobile device, you can manage how your device and browser share certain device data by adjusting the privacy and security settings on your mobile device. You also can learn more about cookies and how to manage your preferences by visiting http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

You can also opt out of receiving interest-based ads from third party advertisers who are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or who follow the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (DAA) Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising by visiting the opt out pages on the NAI website and DAA website.

Within mobile applications, you may also go to your device settings and select “Limit Ad Tracking” (for iOS devices), or “Opt out of Interest-Based Ads” (for Android devices), which will allow you to limit our use of information collected from or about your mobile device (such as precise location data) for the purposes of serving interest-based advertising to you.

Please also see the “Your Choices” section for other ways to opt-out of interest-based or targeted advertising.

THIRD-PARTY ANALYTICS

We use other companies to help us analyze our site, track metrics, and advertise to you. These companies generally promised us under contract to keep data private but have their own privacy policies that you should be aware of.

Our analytics partners help us with our Square profile portal or Square Pay, such as Google Analytics, BugSnag, and Crashlytics. The analytics providers that administer these services use technologies such as cookies, web beacons, and web server logs to help us analyze your use of the portal. We may disclose your site-use information (including IP address) to these analytics providers, and other service providers to help us figure out how you and others use our Square profile portal.

After that, we keep it for as long as we need it to do things like fight fraud, collect fees you owe, enable Your Sellers to use Square services to run their businesses, resolve disputes with (or involving) you, follow the law, enforce our agreements and defend our rights in court.

We keep your information as long as is necessary for the purposes identified in this Privacy Notice, including to provide you our services, to comply with applicable law and legal obligations, to defend our legal rights, property and users.
