Gusto updated its Privacy Policy on April 23, 2026, primarily replacing obfuscated or encoded email addresses with plain-text versions (e.g., legal-opt-outs@gusto.com and support@gusto.com) and making minor formatting adjustments to the navigation header. The document previously listed contact emails in a way that may have been rendered unreadable or garbled, and now displays them clearly. This change makes it easier for users to find and use the correct contact addresses for legal opt-outs and general support.
Gusto has replaced previously unclear or encoded contact email addresses with plain, readable versions in its Privacy Policy. This means users can now easily identify the correct email addresses for submitting legal opt-out requests (legal-opt-outs@gusto.com) and for general support (support@gusto.com). You can use legal-opt-outs@gusto.com to submit an arbitration opt-out or other legal request if you choose to exercise that right.
Accurate, readable contact addresses ensure users can actually exercise their legal opt-out rights and reach support without confusion. Previously garbled or encoded email addresses could have prevented users from submitting valid opt-out requests.
The email address for submitting arbitration opt-out forms is now clearly stated as legal-opt-outs@gusto.com.
The employer support contact email is now clearly stated as support@gusto.com.

Gusto updated its Privacy Policy on April 23, 2026, replacing encoded or broken email addresses with plain-text contact addresses for legal opt-outs and support. This is primarily a formatting and accessibility fix. No substantive policy rights, obligations, or data processing terms were altered. Compliance teams do not need to take action on vendor contracts or DPAs, but should note the correct opt-out contact address (legal-opt-outs@gusto.com) for any internal records or dispute procedures.
Because this change is limited to correcting contact email addresses and minor navigation formatting, direct regulatory exposure is minimal. However, the following frameworks remain relevant to the underlying document: CCPA/CPRA (Cal. Civ. Code §1798.100 et seq.) — correct and accessible opt-out contact information is required; FTC Act Section 5 — deceptive or inaccessible contact mechanisms could be construed as unfair or deceptive practices; GLBA Privacy Rule (16 C.F.R. Part 313) — financial services privacy notices must provide accurate contact information for consumer rights requests. No new regulatory exposure is created by this specific change.
