ConductAtlas User-Protection Index
Provisional · scored on 3 of 6
11.8/100
Consumer tier · provisional until more dimensions are known
How is this scored? →
Baseline 11.8 here · corpus average 31.4 across 191 scored platforms Bottom quartile Q1 18.4 · median 30.8 · Q3 42.3

Higher = more protective of you, the user/customer — a deliberately user-protective lens, not a universal “good vs bad” score. Computed algorithmically from Squarespace’s cited governance stances; no dimension we haven’t confidently read is ever counted against the score. Free, reproducible, and never purchasable.

Key Governance Provisions
ICDR-AAA Binding Arbitration For DPF Disputes

It identifies a specific arbitral forum and framework that may govern certain data privacy disputes, affecting how users can seek redress.

User Must Comply With Data Protection Laws

Squarespace places the entire compliance burden for data protection, security, and privacy law—including major EU regulations—on the user, meaning users bear legal risk for any regulatory violations.

Broad License Granted To Squarespace For User Content

The license is perpetual and irrevocable, meaning Squarespace retains these rights to User Content even after a user leaves the platform or deletes content.

Binding Arbitration Required For Most Disputes

Users give up the right to sue Squarespace in court for disputes connected to the Agreement, and any resolution is final and binding through arbitration.

Explicit Consent Required For Biometric Verification

It establishes that biometric verification cannot proceed without affirmative user consent, creating a meaningful gate before sensitive biometric data is used.
