What it is

Consumers have the right to request access to, deletion of, and correction of personal information Square holds about them.

Why it matters

You can ask Square to show you what data they have, delete it, or fix inaccuracies — these are important rights that give you more control over your personal information.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

These rights are mandated under CCPA/CPRA for California residents, and Square's obligation to honor these requests within 45-day windows (with possible 45-day extension) requires robust internal processes and verification procedures that compliance teams should audit.

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.
