This clause establishes two distinct opt-out rights that limit Gusto's ability to sell, share, or apply automated decision-making to your personal information.
Interpretive note: The excerpt states two independent rights. The canonical claim captures both as the primary proposition because they are closely joined in the text, but they are legally distinct. No mechanism, scope, or eligibility criteria are specified in the excerpt.
The updated Privacy Policy now explicitly states it covers retirement account management (401k, SEP IRA, IRA accounts) and adds Stripe alongside Plaid as a third-party service provider that collects financial institution data. The policy restructures how it describes Gusto's role in different contexts: when Gusto acts as a service provider processing payroll or other data on behalf of employers, when it acts as an employer itself, or when it operates as a co-employer under a professional organization (PEO) arrangement, with separate privacy notices applying in each case. The policy introduces a new commitment that de-identified data will not be re-identified except to verify compliance with applicable law. If you connect a bank account through Stripe, that data will be treated under Stripe's Privacy Policy, which you should review separately.
