37Squarespace provides a number of tools that will allow you to promote your website (or articles on your website) over email. Email addresses entered into these forms are not stored in our database, but may be stored in our system logs in text format to assist us in tracking down abusive users (users flooding the system), or using these tools for spamming.

33Users hosting websites with Squarespace are given tools that may ask you to optionally enter your email address when making comments on their website, or contacting them through their website.

In addition, once in Our system, website owners will have the opportunity to review and modify any information entered into their website.

You should check that you trust the owner of a particular website before submitting personal information on that site.
