This clause establishes Square's data retention framework by conditioning storage duration on operational and legal necessities rather than specifying predetermined deletion schedules. This operational approach allows the company to maintain records across multiple compliance and risk management functions simultaneously.
Users' information will be retained by Square according to the purposes outlined in its Privacy Notice, including fraud prevention and legal defense activities, rather than being deleted after a specific period. The retention obligations apply as written upon continued use of Square's services.
