Square updated its Privacy Notice to add detailed disclosure about Trust Center data collection and use. The company now explicitly discloses that when visitors submit an NDA form to access compliance documentation, Square collects name, job title, email address, and company name, plus information about which documents they view and how they interact with the portal. Operationally, this means Square uses this engagement data to identify and prioritize sales opportunities, including follow-up outreach based on which compliance documents a visitor has accessed.
