Event Summary

Gusto's privacy policy was updated on May 14, 2026 to correct a grammatical error in the list of purposes for which personal information is used. The text 'our partners��� programs' was changed to 'our partners' programs' (fixing a character encoding issue). This is a technical correction with no change to the operational scope or substance of data use practices disclosed in the policy.

LOW

Consumer Impact

This change corrects a technical formatting error in Gusto's privacy policy but does not alter the substance, scope, or operational effect of any data handling practices. The list of purposes for which Gusto uses personal information remains materially identical. No new rights, restrictions, or obligations are created for consumers.

Governance Analysis

This change has no operational significance. The corrected text conveys the identical meaning and does not alter Gusto's stated authority to use personal information, the scope of that use, or any consumer rights or obligations.
