1. How does this Privacy Policy apply?

This Privacy Policy describes what we do with Squarespace Controlled Information, such as Customer account information, information about how Users use and interact with our Services, information Users submit to our customer support, and, when we use it for our own purposes, including to foster the security and integrity of our Services, End User information which is automatically collected when an End User visits a Customer’s site hosted on our Services. 

We have separate privacy policies that apply in relation to our processing of personal information relating to our staff and applicants for jobs at a Squarespace group company.

We use cookies and similar technologies. Our Cookie Policy describes what we do in that regard.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to Customer Controlled Information as described above. 

For Customer Controlled Information, Squarespace acts as a data processor, service provider or similar term under applicable law. This means we process a Customer’s Customer Controlled Information on behalf of, and pursuant to, the instructions of that particular Customer. We also use and disclose Customer Controlled Information:

  • to enforce our Terms of Service and other legal terms and policies; 

  • to comply with applicable legal requirements, such as tax and other government regulations and industry standards, contracts or law enforcement requests; and
