What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Square secure checkout obtains information about you during your checkout transaction. We call this information Our Customers’ Data. They collect Our Customers’ Data when they transact with us through our use of Square’s products, for instance when you make a payment at our establishment, or schedule an appointment, or receive an invoice from us. The particular Customer Data they collect will vary depending on how we use their products and services and which products and services we use. Our Customers’ Data may include:
- Device Information. Information about Our Customer’s device, including hardware model, operating system and version, device name, unique device identifier, mobile network information, and information about the device’s interaction with their Services.
- Financial Information. Bank account, payment card numbers, and payment history.
- Identification Information. Our Customers’ name; email address; mailing address; phone number; government-issued identification; or other historical, contact, and demographic information, and signature.
- Location Information. The location of Our Customer’s device if they pay with Apple or Android Pay.
- Transaction Information. When Our Customers use Square to make or record payments to us, they collect information about when and where the transactions occur, the names of the transacting parties, a description of the transactions which may include item-level data, the payment or transfer amounts, billing and shipping information, and the devices and payment methods used to complete the transactions.
- Use Information. Information about how Our Customers transact with us using their Services, including access time, “log-in” and “log-out” information, browser type and language, country and language setting on your device, IP address, the domain name of Our Customer’s Internet service provider, other attributes about Our Customer’s browser, mobile device and operating system, features Our Customer uses, and the date and time of use of the Services.
- Other Information Our Customers Provide. Information that Our Customers voluntarily provide us, or that they input into Square’s systems about our Customers. For example, survey responses; participation in contests, promotions, or other prospective seller marketing forms or devices; suggestions for improvements; notes we take about our customers, or any other actions performed when you transact with us using Square.
Information Our Customers May Provide Square
- Identification information. Our customers’ name, email address, or telephone number, which we link to a tokenized version of their payment card number.
Here is what Square has to say: Privacy laws that apply in certain places, like California, treat “businesses” and “service providers” differently. Under those laws, a business is the company that decides why and how to process personal information. 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 for more information on how Square processes their data as your service provider.
