Impact Summary

Low Neutral for users
Affected users
All users Gusto customers Gusto retirement customers

Gusto updated its privacy policy in an update detected on July 18, 2026 to consolidate privacy request submission channels. The policy previously directed users to separate privacy portals for Gusto and Gusto Retirement services; the updated language now permits users to submit privacy requests through either the main Gusto Privacy Request Portal or the Gusto Retirement Privacy Request Portal from a single entry point. Additionally, the policy simplified language describing where the 'Your Privacy Choices' link appears, removing specific mention of the Gusto Retirement website as a separate location. The net effect is that privacy rights exercise procedures now reference unified submission options rather than service-specific portals.

What this means for you

The updated policy clarifies how users can exercise privacy rights across Gusto's service suite. Previously, the policy referenced separate privacy request portals for Gusto and Gusto Retirement; the revised language now states users may submit privacy requests through either portal for any privacy right exercise, appeals, or general privacy inquiries. This consolidation simplifies the request submission process by reducing the number of entry points users need to navigate to exercise rights under state privacy laws.

What you can do

Use either the Gusto Privacy Request Portal or Gusto Retirement Privacy Request Portal to submit privacy rights requests, whichever is most convenient.

Key Clauses Affected
