Who we are
Square For Freelancers is an independent referral service operated by ProVantage POS [confirm the full registered entity name — e.g. "ProVantage POS LLC" — as it appears on your Texas business registration] (“we”, “us”), an authorized Square partner based in Denton County, Texas. We are a mobile operation and do not keep a public trading premises. We are not Block, Inc. or Square, and we are not acting on their behalf.
If you have a question about this policy, or want to exercise any of the rights below, email travis@provantagepos.com or call (817) 601-7368. We answer to the same person either way.
What this site collects
This website does not have a signup form or a customer account system. In normal use it collects very little:
- Nothing is required to browse. You can read every page without giving us any information.
- Information you volunteer. If you call the phone number on this site, we will have whatever you tell us on that call — typically your name, phone number, trade, and a rough idea of your monthly card volume — so a specialist can set up your account.
- Basic technical data. Our hosting provider automatically logs standard request information such as IP address, browser type, referring page, and timestamps, for security and reliability.
We do not ask for, and you should never send us, your card number, bank account details, Social Security number, or any password. If you need to give that information to open a merchant account, you will enter it with Square directly, never with us.
Where your information goes
If you ask us to set you up, we pass the details you gave us to Square in order to make the referral. From that point, Square's own privacy policy governs the information you provide to Square, including anything you enter during their application. We do not control and are not responsible for how Square handles it.
We earn a commission when someone signs up through our referral. That commission is paid by Square, not by you, and it does not change the pricing you receive.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with anyone other than Square and the service providers listed below.
Service providers
- Vercel — website hosting and request logging.
- Google Fonts — this site loads two typefaces from Google's font servers, which means Google receives your IP address when a page loads.
- [ANY ANALYTICS, CALL TRACKING, OR CRM YOU ACTUALLY USE] — list these honestly or delete this line. Do not leave it as a placeholder.
Cookies
As written, this site sets no cookies of its own and runs no advertising or analytics trackers. If you later add analytics, ad pixels, or call tracking, this section and the disclosures above must be updated, and depending on your visitors' location you may also need a consent banner.
How long we keep things
We keep the details from a referral conversation for as long as needed to service the referral and to meet our record-keeping and tax obligations, then delete them. Hosting logs are retained on our provider's standard schedule.
Your choices
You can ask us what information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, by emailing travis@provantagepos.com. Depending on where you live you may have additional rights. Residents of California and several other states have specific rights of access, deletion, correction, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information. We will honour a request from any state on the same terms rather than making you prove where you live.
We operate from Texas, so the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act is the state law most likely to apply to us. [To confirm with counsel: the TDPSA carries an exemption for small businesses as defined by the U.S. Small Business Administration, but that exemption does not extend to selling sensitive personal data without consent. We don't sell data at all, so the intent here is to comply either way — but confirm whether the exemption applies to you before relying on it.]
Children
This site is for business owners and is not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top of this page. Material changes will be noted on the homepage.
