Impact Summary

Low Neutral for users
Affected users
All users

The diff provided shows Gusto's Privacy Notice with minimal substantive changes. One sentence was modified, though the visible change in the diff context appears to be a character encoding issue (a typographic mark in the word 'Services'). The core privacy scope and introduction remain unchanged: Gusto describes how it collects, uses, and shares personal information as a controller or business when users interact with Gusto's small business platform. Without visibility into the specific sentence modification beyond the encoding artifact, the operational impact of this change cannot be determined from the provided information.
