Event Summary

Square reorganized the list of links to its various legal documents and service terms in the footer of its Privacy Notice. The order and grouping of these links changed, but the documents themselves and the substantive privacy protections they describe remain the same. This is a formatting and navigation change with no impact on what rights or obligations Square or its users have.

LOW

Consumer Impact

No action is required by consumers in response to this change.

Governance Analysis

Institutional Analysis

Assessment

This change is a reorganization of reference links in the Privacy Notice footer. No substantive privacy or data-handling obligations have been modified, added, or removed. The linked documents themselves remain unchanged. No compliance action is required unless an organization relies on the specific order or grouping of these links for internal reference or audit purposes, in which case documentation may need to be updated to reflect the new layout.
