Event Summary

Square's Privacy Notice underwent a detected change on July 17, 2026 that reorganized the order of linked documents and related terms within the policy. Specifically, the sequence of policy links was rearranged, with some documents moved to different positions in the reference list. This is a structural reorganization rather than a substantive change to the privacy rights, obligations, or disclosures themselves.

LOW

Consumer Impact

This change reorganizes the order in which Square lists related policy documents and terms within its Privacy Notice. The actual privacy rights, data handling practices, and disclosures remain unchanged. All referenced policies and documents continue to apply; their sequence in the document listing has been modified for organizational purposes.

Governance Analysis

While this change has no impact on privacy rights or data handling practices, document organization affects how users navigate and reference Square's policy terms. Clear and consistent linking to related policies supports accessibility and compliance transparency, even when the underlying terms remain unchanged.
