Squarespace restructured its Privacy Policy on August 11, 2026, removing promotional language and 'Back to top' navigation elements, renumbering sections, and reorganizing the table of contents. The document now presents a cleaner structure with explicit section numbering and expanded section headers (e.g., 'Specific Information for California Residents' replacing 'California Supplemental Information'). No material changes to data collection, use, or disclosure practices are evident from the detected modifications; the update appears primarily organizational and formatting-focused.

What this means for you

The restructured Privacy Policy does not materially alter what information Squarespace collects, how it uses that information, or your rights and choices. The document's core provisions regarding data collection (including financial information, government identifiers, and promotion data), disclosure to vendors and affiliates, and security measures remain substantively unchanged. The update reflects organizational and formatting changes, including clearer section numbering and expanded section headers for state-specific privacy provisions.
