Your financial transactions are used for purposes beyond just completing payments, including building Square's products and conducting analytics on your financial behavior.
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.
