Institutional Analysis

Assessment

This change is a table-of-contents update adding cross-references to two newly published terms documents: Gusto Handbook & Policy Compliance Scanner Beta Terms and Handbook Builder Terms of Service. No substantive revisions to core privacy practices, data flows, or consent mechanisms were detected. The update appears to reflect organizational additions to Gusto's product suite rather than material privacy policy revisions. Organizations should review the newly referenced terms documents to understand the scope and data handling practices of these new services if they are deployed in their environment.
