Ask HN: Are Square's marketing emails legal?
By what process did I opt-in to this? Is there fine print hidden somewhere in every Square kiosk that you adopt simply by allowing a merchant to swipe your card? Did I unknowingly opt-in to these marketing emails?
Square's website is of little help. In the spam email I received, I followed a link near the bottom next to the unsubscribe link that said "Manage Preferences." There is a link on the page with the text "learn more about marketing," which merely takes me to some other page called "Redeem your Square rewards." Is there even a copy of whatever I may or may not have agreed to posted on their website? I can't find any such thing in the "Legal" section of the site.
