Monitor Square compliance pages

Block-owned payments platform for small businesses — POS hardware, payment processing, payroll, banking, and e-commerce tools.

Square publishes several compliance and legal pages that change over time. Under GDPR Article 28, data controllers using Square as a processor must continuously verify that "sufficient guarantees" remain in place — which means tracking changes to these pages as they happen. Below are the 3 most relevant pages, what typically changes on each, and ready-to-paste monitoring prompts.
