Squarespace sites use Squarespace's infrastructure and built-in analytics that automatically collect visitor data. Squarespace Commerce collects customer purchase data, and Squarespace Email Campaigns processes subscriber data. Unlike open-source platforms, Squarespace's data collection is more standardized and predictable, but you must still disclose Squarespace's role as a data processor and any third-party integrations. If your website serves visitors from multiple countries, your privacy policy should reflect a globally recognized baseline of privacy best practices.

If your website serves visitors from multiple countries, your privacy policy should reflect a globally recognized baseline of privacy best practices. While no single global law exists, the principles of transparency, consent, data minimization, security, and individual rights are common across GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, and most modern privacy frameworks.

Data typically collected by Squarespace Site businesses: visitor analytics and session data, Squarespace Commerce customer and order data, email campaign subscriber data, form submission data, cookie and tracking data
A Cookie Policy is best practice for Global, even if not strictly mandated. It demonstrates transparency and builds user trust. For Squarespace Site businesses using analytics or advertising tools, it is strongly recommended.
A typical Squarespace Site website uses: essential session cookies, analytics cookies (Google Analytics, etc.), functional preference cookies, and marketing/advertising cookies if you run paid campaigns. Each type must be disclosed in your Cookie Policy with its purpose.
Under Global, a Cookie Policy alone is not sufficient. A consent mechanism is recommended for analytics and marketing cookies to align with global privacy best practices.
