Event Summary

Square reorganized the footer section of its Privacy Notice by reordering the listed legal documents and policies. The BEFORE version listed policies in one sequence; the AFTER version reordered them with 'Government Licenses' appearing earlier and 'Square Savings Deposit Account Terms' moved later in the list. This is a structural reorganization with no change to which documents are referenced or their content.
