Event Summary

Gusto updated its Privacy Policy on May 21, 2026 to change the email address listed for privacy inquiries and data requests from privacy@gusto.com to a masked email format displayed as [email protected]. This change affects where users and regulators should direct privacy-related questions, data access requests, and other data handling inquiries, though the operational process for submitting such requests remains unchanged.

LOW

Consumer Impact

The updated policy changes the email address where users and regulators should direct privacy-related inquiries and data access requests. Previously, the policy listed privacy@gusto.com; the updated version now displays the contact as [email protected]. This is a procedural update affecting how privacy requests are routed and does not change Gusto's data handling practices or user rights.

Governance Analysis

The updated contact email ensures privacy inquiries and data access requests are routed to the correct address. Users and regulators relying on outdated contact information may experience delays in submitting privacy-related requests if they continue using the previous email address.
