Gusto's privacy policy was updated on May 9, 2026 to add two new document references in its table of contents: 'Gusto Handbook & Policy Compliance Scanner Beta Terms' and 'Handbook Builder Terms of Service'. The core privacy practices and purposes for data collection remain substantively unchanged. This reflects Gusto's introduction of new HR compliance and document management tools to its platform.
This change reflects administrative updates to Gusto's document references rather than substantive changes to how your personal information is collected, used, or shared. The core privacy practices and data handling authorizations described in the policy remain unchanged. No action is required in response to this update.
This change is primarily administrative and does not alter the substantive privacy practices governing how Gusto collects, uses, or shares personal information. Users should be aware of new service offerings referenced in the policy but need not take action in response to this update.

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.
