The GDPR requires certain safeguards when transferring personal data from outside the EEA, the UK and Switzerland to "third countries," which are all countries outside these protected areas, including the United States. Squarespace is committed to treating personal data received from the EEA, the UK, Switzerland, and elsewhere around the world in a secure and privacy-first way.

Squarespace uses the European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses (also known as Model Contractual Clauses) and the UK’s International Data Transfer Addendum (UK Addendum) as the legal basis for transferring personal data to third countries, including the United States.

• The European Commission updated the Standard Contractual Clauses on June 4, 2021 to reflect:

• How data processing happens in the modern world.

• The requirements of the EU GDPR.

Recommendations from the European Data Protection Board The Schrems II decision by the Court of Justice of the European Union.

On March 21, 2022, the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office’s updated requirements related to data transfers outside of the UK, including the use of an international data transfer agreement and the UK Addendum to the updated Standard Contractual Clauses, took effect.

We protect your personal data and have put appropriate technical and organizational safeguards in place to meet these standards. To learn more, visit the Squarespace Security Measures page.

Cookies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies, which are small files or pieces of text that download to a device when a visitor accesses a website or app. Squarespace uses the following cookies:

• These necessary and required cookies are always used, which allow Squarespace, our hosting platform, to securely serve this website to you.

• These analytics and performance cookies are used on this website, as described below, only when you acknowledge our cookie banner. This website uses analytics and performance cookies to view site traffic, activity, and other data.

The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing, and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device.

You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience, and parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser controls, often found in your browser’s “Tools” or “Preferences” menu. More information on modifying your browser settings or block, manage or filter cookies can be found in your browser’s help file or through such sites as www.allaboutcookies.org.

Additionally, please note that blocking cookies may not wholly prevent how we share information with third parties such as our advertising partners. To exercise your rights or opt-out of your data’s specific uses by these parties, please follow the instructions in the “Behavioral Advertising” section above.

Please note that because there is no consistent industry understanding of how to respond to “Do Not Track” signals, we do not alter our data collection and usage practices when detecting such a signal from your browser.
