What Changed

Square updated the navigation or reference list in their Terms of Service on March 29, 2026. The main change is that 'Square Data Processing Agreement' and 'Square Payment Terms' swapped their order in the document's linked list of related agreements — 'Square Payment Terms' now appears after 'Government Licenses' instead of before it. This is a minor structural reorganization with no impact on the actual rights or obligations of consumers.

Why It Matters

This change is purely cosmetic — the order of linked documents in Square's terms index was rearranged. It has no practical effect on consumer rights or obligations.

Consumer Impact

Square made a minor reorganization to the list of linked documents in their Terms of Service, changing the order in which 'Square Data Processing Agreement' and 'Square Payment Terms' appear in the navigation list. This does not change any consumer rights, obligations, fees, or data practices. No action is required from consumers as a result of this change.

Institutional Analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

Assessment

Square reordered two entries — 'Square Data Processing Agreement' and 'Square Payment Terms' — in the navigational index of their Terms of Service. No substantive terms were modified. This change does not touch any regulatory framework in a material way and does not require compliance action. Low priority.

Regulatory Exposure

No regulatory exposure created by this change. The reordering of document links in a terms of service index does not trigger obligations under GDPR (including Art. 13 or Art. 14), CCPA (Cal. Civ. Code §1798.100 et seq.), PSD2, or any other applicable consumer protection or financial services regulation. No enforcement actions or supervisory opinions are relevant.
