+Privacy laws that apply in certain places, like California, treat "businesses" and "service providers" differently.

A service provider processes personal information on behalf of a business in order to provide services. When Square processes Your Customers' Data, we generally act as your service provider. In select cases, however, we may act as a business when we process Your Customers' Data. For example, we act as a business when we use Your Customers' Data to send Your Customers digital receipts directly from Square, or when we allow you to use Customer Directory or Square Marketing to contact your buyer using a masked email address (for example, j**\*\***\*\*\*@gmail.com) that gets routed to them via Square. Your Customers can visit the Privacy Notice for Square Buyer Features for more information on how Square processes their data when it is acting as a business, and the [Privacy Notice for non-account holders](https://squareup.com/legal/privacy-no-account) for more information on how Square processes their data as your service provider.
