Gusto updated a single sentence in their Terms of Service on June 11, 2026 regarding how Employer Data is processed and retained. The previous language stated data would be processed, stored, and retained 'in accordance with our legal obligations.' The updated language maintains identical substance but corrects a character encoding issue in the phrase 'Employer's Members' (the previous version contained a corrupted character). This is a technical correction with no operational change to how data is handled or what obligations apply.
This change is a technical correction to character encoding and does not alter the operational substance of Gusto's data processing terms. The agreement continues to state that Employer Data will be processed, stored, and retained in accordance with Gusto's legal obligations. No change to user rights, data handling procedures, or obligations has occurred.
