GoKawiilBlock's Dessa project publishes privacy notice for dessa.com speech model site
Block, Inc. has posted a privacy notice for dessa.com, the site hosting its full-duplex speech model project, effective October 21, 2026. The notice details what identification and usage data Block collects from visitors and clarifies it applies only to dessa.com, not other Block products like Square, Cash App, Afterpay or TIDAL.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The publication of a dedicated privacy notice suggests Block is treating Dessa as a distinct consumer-facing product requiring its own data-handling disclosures, separate from its financial services. This could indicate the speech model is nearing or already in public testing, since companies typically formalize privacy policies before wider user engagement.
- Block published a standalone privacy notice for its Dessa speech model site, dessa.com
- The notice is separate from policies governing Square, Cash App, Afterpay and TIDAL
- Treating Dessa under its own privacy framework may signal a push toward broader public access to the product
