What Changed

Square updated their Privacy Notice on March 29, 2026, by reordering items in the navigation links section of the document. The 'Square Data Processing Agreement' was moved to appear before 'Government Licenses' and 'Square Payment Terms,' whereas before it appeared between 'Square Privacy Notice' and 'Square Payment Terms' with 'Government Licenses' listed after. This is a cosmetic reorganization of footer or menu links and does not change any consumer rights or data practices.

Square made a minor reordering of navigation links within its Privacy Notice on March 29, 2026. No actual policy language, data rights, or consumer protections were added, removed, or altered. This change has no practical impact on how Square collects, uses, or shares your personal data.

Institutional Analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

Assessment

Square reordered the list of linked legal documents in the footer/navigation section of its Privacy Notice on March 29, 2026. The 'Square Data Processing Agreement' and 'Government Licenses' links swapped relative positions. No substantive policy language changed. No regulatory framework is implicated, no DPA or SCC language was altered, and no compliance action is required.

Regulatory Exposure

No regulatory exposure identified. The change is limited to the ordering of navigation links within the document and does not affect substantive policy content.
