Marketing Communications and Opt-Out

Low severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

What it is

Square may send you promotional communications by email, text, or other channels, and you can opt out of these at any time.

Why it matters

You may receive marketing messages from Square unless you actively opt out, so it is worth knowing how to stop these if you do not want them.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

Marketing communication practices must comply with CAN-SPAM Act, TCPA for text messages, and CCPA's right to opt out of certain communications; compliance teams should verify that opt-out mechanisms are functional and honored promptly.

Consumer impact

Square collects extensive personal and financial data, including transaction history, device identifiers, and inferred characteristics, and shares this with affiliates, service providers, and advertising partners. Your financial and behavioral data may be used for targeted advertising and cross-context behavioral profiling, which can feel intrusive and may affect what products and services you are shown. You can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising by visiting Square's privacy preferences page or submitting a request through their privacy portal.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Log in to your Square account, navigate to account settings, and adjust your notification and marketing communication preferences to opt out of promotional messages; alternatively, use the unsubscribe link in any marketing email.

Applicable agencies
