Square uses your personal data, including transaction and behavioral data, to deliver targeted advertisements and to build profiles about your preferences and interests.
Square may use your spending habits and financial behavior to build advertising profiles and deliver targeted ads, which may feel intrusive and is not always transparent to users.
Use of financial transaction data for advertising profiling raises compliance considerations under CPRA's sensitive personal information provisions, FTC guidance on deceptive data use, and emerging state privacy laws requiring opt-out rights for profiling in connection with significant decisions.
