Closing your Gusto account does not immediately erase your data — Gusto may retain sensitive information such as your SSN, payroll records, and tax documents for extended periods.
Gusto collects highly sensitive personal data including Social Security numbers, bank account information, health and benefits data, and biometric data, and may share it with third-party service providers, financial partners, and marketing affiliates. Employees who use Gusto through their employer may have limited control over their data since it is processed on behalf of the employer. You can submit a privacy rights request to exercise your rights to access, delete, or correct your data at https://gusto.com/privacy-request or by emailing privacy@gusto.com.
