"If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights in relation to your personal information, including the right to know, right to delete, right to correct, right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and the right to non-discrimination. To exercise your rights, you can submit a request through our Privacy Request Form. We will not sell your personal information, as the term sale is defined under the CCPA. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.— Excerpt from Squarespace's Squarespace Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), enforced by the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) and the California Attorney General. The distinction between sale and sharing is material under CPRA; the policy states it does not sell personal information but does not expressly disclaim sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising in all contexts, which may warrant evaluation. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Squarespace's explicit statement that it does not sell personal information is a positive compliance indicator, but the opt-out of sharing mechanism must be clearly implemented and functional to satisfy CPRA. Compliance teams should verify the Privacy Request Form is accessible, operational, and processes requests within statutory timelines (45 days with one 45-day extension under CCPA/CPRA). JURISDICTION FLAGS: Applies specifically to California residents. Similar rights are emerging in other US states including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, and Oregon, and organizations should assess whether Squarespace's rights mechanisms are extensible to those jurisdictions as their laws take effect. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: B2B organizations using Squarespace who are themselves covered businesses under CCPA/CPRA should verify that Squarespace, as a service provider, commits to honoring consumer rights requests passed through from the controller. Service provider agreements should explicitly address consumer rights fulfillment. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should test the Privacy Request Form for functionality and response time compliance. Verification mechanisms for identity confirmation of requestors should be assessed for proportionality. Records of consumer rights requests and responses should be maintained as required by CPRA regulations.
