| 3 | 3 | Squarespace ("Squarespace," "we," "us" or "our") respects your privacy. When it comes to your personal information, we believe in transparency. That's why we've set out here what personal information we collect, what we do with it and your choices and rights. |
| 4 | 4 | |
| 5 | 5 | By using or accessing any of our sites, templates, products, applications, tools, services and features (collectively, the "Services"), you confirm you have agreed to the [Terms of Service](https://www.squarespace.com/terms-of-service) and have read and understood this Privacy Policy and our [Cookie Policy](https://www.squarespace.com/cookie-policy). The Squarespace entity that controls your information depends on where you are located. See [Section 12 below](https://www.squarespace.com/privacy/). |

| 7 | 7 | You can find out about your rights and choices in [Section 6 below](https://www.squarespace.com/privacy/). We've also included at the end of this Privacy Policy some region-specific supplemental information if you are located in: (i) [California](https://www.squarespace.com/privacy/); or (ii) [a U.S. state (other than California) with an applicable data privacy law](https://www.squarespace.com/privacy/). |
| 8 | 8 | |
| 9 | 9 | For clarity, we use different defined terms in this Privacy Policy to refer to the different parties who interact with our Services: |
| 10 | 10 | |
| 11 | - A "User" is someone who visits or uses one of our sites, such as [www.squarespace.com](https://squarespace.com/), [www.acuityscheduling.com](http://www.acuityscheduling.com/), [www.unfold.com](http://www.unfold.com/) or [www.biosites.com](http://www.biosites.com/) or mobile applications. | |
| 11 | - A "User" is someone who visits or uses one of our sites, such as [www.squarespace.com](http://www.squarespace.com/), [www.acuityscheduling.com](http://www.acuityscheduling.com/), [www.unfold.com](http://www.unfold.com/) or [www.biosites.com](http://www.biosites.com/) or mobile applications. | |
| 12 | 12 | |
| 13 | 13 | - A "Customer" is one of our Users who has an account with us. Customers may use our Services to register domain names, create websites (including scheduling pages) and other content, and otherwise manage and market their online businesses. |
| 14 | 14 | |
| 15 | 15 | - An "End User" is someone who visits, purchases from, makes a booking with or otherwise uses one of our Customer's sites that was created using, and is hosted on, our Services. |
| 16 | 16 | |
| 17 | 17 | We also use different terms in this Privacy Policy to differentiate between our roles under global data privacy laws with respect to the personal information we process: |
| 31 | 31 | - **Customer Account Details**: Information you provide to create an account, specifically email address, password, first name and last name. |
| 32 | 32 | |
| 33 | 33 | - **Payments Services Account Information**: If you use the Payments Services (as defined in the [Squarespace Payments Terms)](https://www.squarespace.com/payments-terms), additional information you provide to set up and manage Payments Services and integrate them with the Processing Services (as defined in the [Squarespace Payments Terms](https://www.squarespace.com/payments-terms)), including information about you and your business, such as bank account details, name, address, phone number, date of birth, government number (such as a social security number, passport number or driver's license number), tax identifier (EIN) and nationality. |
| 34 | 34 | |
| 35 | 35 | - **Payments Services Identity Verification Information**: If you use the Payments Services, you may be required to provide us with additional information to verify your identity, including a photograph of you captured by you during the verification process and a copy of an official government document which includes a different photograph of you. When you're required to provide this additional information, our vendors may create a biometric scan of your facial geometry based on these two photographs in order to compare them and verify that you are the same individual whose photograph is on your government document. However, Squarespace does not create, store or otherwise have access to any such biometric data. Payments Services Identity Verification Information also includes details that are listed on such official government documents. |
| 36 | 36 | |
| 37 | - **Optional 2FA Account Information**: You may optionally provide us with additional information, such as your phone number, if you wish to enable [two factor authentication (2FA)](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/articles/360000044827-Protect-your-account-with-two-factor-authentication) on your customer account. | |
| 37 | - **Optional 2FA Account Information:** You may optionally provide us with additional information, such as your phone number, if you wish to enable [two factor authentication (2FA)](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/articles/360000044827-Protect-your-account-with-two-factor-authentication) on your account with us. Although 2FA may be required for certain actions or in certain scenarios on our Services, 2FA may be utilized without providing any Optional 2FA Account Information. For avoidance of doubt, we will not sell, share or otherwise disclose your Optional 2FA Information to a third party in a manner that permits such third party to use your phone number and/or opt-in consent to send SMS messages to you for the third party's marketing purposes. More information about this 2FA service may be found [here](https://www.squarespace.com/sms-terms). | |
| 38 | 38 | |
| 39 | 39 | - **Account History Information**: Information about your account's use of the Services, including your trials, subscriptions, discount code usage and related details. If you use the Payments Services or other financial products, this would also include information about your account's use of the Payments Services or other financial products. |
| 40 | 40 | |
| 41 | 41 | - **Payment Information**: Information you provide if you sign up for Services you have to pay for (e.g., a product subscription). For most paid Services, this will include your billing address as well as a portion of your payment information which is provided to us from our payment processor (such as the last four digits, the country of issuance and the expiration date of the payment card). |
| 42 | 42 | |
| 43 | 43 | - **Marketing Preferences**: Your marketing preferences and details, including if you've opted out of all or a portion of our direct marketing messages. |
| 141 | 141 | - **Complying with law**. Comply with applicable legal requirements, such as tax and other government regulations and industry standards, contracts or law enforcement requests (including ICANN, registry, ccTLD or registrar rules, regulations and policies). If you use the Payments Services, in accordance with the [Squarespace Payments Terms](https://www.squarespace.com/payments-terms), these legal requirements include know your customer, anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism laws. |
| 142 | 142 | |
| 143 | 143 | We may de-identify information we collect so the information cannot reasonably identify you or your device, or we may collect information that is already in de-identified form and use such information for purposes such as to conduct research, to improve our Services, for troubleshooting purposes or to help detect and protect against error, fraud or other criminal activity. We commit to not de-aggregating or re-identifying the aggregated and/or anonymized data that we process. Our use and disclosure of de-identified information is not subject to any restrictions under this Privacy Policy, and we may use and disclose it to others for any purpose, without limitation. |
| 144 | 144 | |
| 145 | 145 | For our Users in the European Economic Area ("EEA") and the United Kingdom ("UK") we rely on the legal bases set out in the table below to process your information. The legal bases on which we rely for Users from other jurisdictions may differ from those listed below. |

| 149 | 149 | **6\. Your rights and choices** |
| 150 | 150 | |
| 151 | 151 | Where applicable law requires (and subject to any relevant exceptions or obligations under law), you may have the right to access, port, update, change or delete personal information. |
| 152 | 152 | |
| 153 | 153 | You may have the right to restrict or object to the processing of your personal information or to exercise a right to data portability under applicable law. |
| 155 | 155 | You can access, update, change or delete personal information (or that of your End Users) in your account. You can also delete your account by following the instructions in [this support guide](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/articles/228036268-Deleting-your-account). Please note that we may need to verify your identity in connection with your requests, and such verification process may, if you do not have access to your account, require you to provide us with additional information we maintain about you to verify your identity. Even if you have access to your account, we may request additional information if we believe it's necessary to verify your identity. If we are unable to verify your identity or request, we may not, in accordance with applicable law, be able to fulfill your request. You may also contact us by email at [privacy@squarespace.com](mailto:privacy@squarespace.com) to submit a request. |
| 156 | 156 | |
| 157 | 157 | Please note that, for technical reasons, there will likely be a delay in deleting your personal information from our systems when you ask us to delete it. To the extent permitted under applicable law, we may also retain personal information in order to comply with the law, protect our or others' rights, resolve disputes or enforce our legal terms or policies. |
| 158 | 158 | |
| 159 | 159 | Additionally, if we rely on consent for the processing of your personal information, you have the right to withdraw it at any time and free of charge. When you do so, this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before your consent withdrawal. |
| 160 | 160 | |
| 161 | In some jurisdictions, applicable laws provide individuals the right to object to or opt out of a significant decision affecting them if the decision resulted from automated processing. While Squarespace may, in some limited cases as described in this Privacy Policy, process your personal information in an automated manner, it is unlikely that an objection or opt out right would apply to such processing. This is because: (a) a human being may be involved in the process (so the processing is not fully automated); (b) no such right applies because the process relates to an exempted purpose, such as performing our contract with you or the detection or prevention of fraud or illegal activity; or (c) the processing does not actually result in a significant decision affecting you as a Customer or End User. If you believe automated processing by our Services has resulted in a significant decision affecting you, you may contact us by email at [privacy@squarespace.com](mailto:privacy@squarespace.com) to request more information and/or request that a human review such decision. | |

| 210 | 212 | |
| 211 | 213 | Squarespace, Inc. complies with the Data Privacy Frameworks to provide a legal basis for transfers of personal data to Squarespace, Inc. in the US from, as applicable, the EEA, Switzerland and the UK. Squarespace, Inc. has certified its compliance to the Data Privacy Frameworks. |
| 212 | 214 | |
| 213 | 215 | Squarespace, Inc.'s certification extends to its processing of personal information (received from the European Region under the Data Privacy Frameworks) of the type and for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy also describes the types of third parties to which personal information is disclosed (and the purposes for such), individual's right of access, the choice and means offered to limit the use and disclosure of personal information and that personal information is disclosed in response to legal requests by public authorities where necessary, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. |
| 214 | 216 | |
| 215 | Squarespace, Inc. is committed to treating personal information received from the European Region pursuant to the applicable Data Privacy Framework in accordance with the principles thereof (the "DPF Principles"). You can find our certification [here](https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail) and you can learn more about the Data Privacy Frameworks (as determined based upon the country from which the personal information was received) and DPF Principles by visiting [https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/](https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/). For purposes of enforcing compliance with the Data Privacy Frameworks, Squarespace, Inc. is subject to the investigatory and enforcement authority of the US Federal Trade Commission. | |

For purposes of enforcing compliance with the Data Privacy Frameworks, Squarespace, Inc. is subject to the investigatory and enforcement authority of the US Federal Trade Commission. | |
| 216 | 218 | |
| 217 | 219 | Our accountability for personal information we receive and subsequently transfer to a third party is described in the DPF Principles. In particular, we may use third parties to process data on our behalf as described in this Privacy Policy, and we remain liable if they do so in a manner inconsistent with the DPF Principles, unless we prove that we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage. |
| 218 | 220 | |
| 219 | 221 | If you have a question or complaint you believe to be within the scope of our Data Privacy Frameworks certification, please contact us first at [privacy@squarespace.com](mailto:privacy@squarespace.com), or using the contact details in the "How to contact us" section below. Any complaint must include a description of your claim and proof of your relationship with Squarespace. We'll respond within 45 days. |
| 220 | 222 | |
| 221 | 223 | Any complaint that we can't resolve directly after 45 days may be resolved by JAMS, which is the independent organization responsible for reviewing and resolving complaints about our Data Privacy Frameworks compliance. You can contact JAMS free of charge at [https://www.jamsadr.com/DPF-Dispute-Resolution](https://www.jamsadr.com/DPF-Dispute-Resolution). JAMS is an alternative dispute resolution provider based in the US. |
| 225 | 227 | Any dispute resolution demand or counterclaim, including arbitration demand or counterclaim, asserted by either party must contain sufficient information to provide fair notice to the other party of the asserting party's identity, the claims being asserted and the factual allegations on which those claims are based, and must include proof that the claimant's data is subject to this Privacy Policy. ICDR-AAA may require amendment of any demand or counterclaim that does not satisfy these requirements. ICDR-AAA has the right to impose sanctions for any claims it determines to be frivolous or improper (under the standard set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 and any similar standards in other jurisdictions), including for any claim filed on behalf of a claimant whose data is not subject to this Privacy Policy. |
| 226 | 228 | |
| 227 | 229 | Nothing in the Data Privacy Frameworks affects your rights as a data subject to the extent we use any European Commission approved standard data protection clauses for transfers to the US. If there is any conflict between the terms in this Privacy Policy and applicable DPF Principles, the applicable DPF Principles shall govern. |
