> “Square’s negligent approach to medical billing…failed to adequately secure the privacy of patients’ medical information,” Mr. Ruark’s attorneys wrote in a complaint. I hope the judge throws this case out. Ruark's lawyer should know better: Square doesn't do medical billing, the medical provider does medical billing. Square is a payment processor. The provider could request automatic receipts be turned off for their system. Most likely, the patient used the same card elsewhere, or otherwise he lent it to a friend, and the friend's email address or mobile number was entered. > Misfired receipts issued by Square...unnerved consumers who wondered how stores got their contact information when they don’t remember providing it... Square didn't misfire anything. If you provide someone else's email address or phone number (or share your card with someone who provides their own), what happens next is exactly what a reasonable person would expect to happen.
