Event Summary

Square removed a reference to the Square Payment Terms from its list of related policy documents in its privacy notice on April 19, 2026. This appears to be an organizational or administrative change to the document's footer or references section rather than a substantive change to how Square handles your data or privacy rights. The payment terms document itself may still apply to your account; this change only affects which documents are listed as companion resources.

LOW

Consumer Impact

This change removes a hyperlink or reference to the Square Payment Terms from the privacy notice's list of related documents. It does not modify any substantive privacy practices, data collection rules, or your rights. If you need to access the Square Payment Terms, you may need to locate it through a different part of Square's website or your account.

Governance Analysis

This change has minimal material impact on consumers. It removes a convenience reference from the privacy notice, but does not alter substantive privacy rights, data handling practices, or the applicability of the Payment Terms themselves.
