Version history

Gusto's privacy policy in an update detected on July 20, 2026 contained minor formatting and punctuation corrections across five sentences. The substantive policy language describing data collection, AI integration disclosures, and recipient categories remained unchanged. These appear to be editorial corrections with no operational impact on how Gusto collects, uses, or shares personal information.

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.

Gusto's Privacy Policy was updated on July 1, 2026 by adding one sentence to the table of contents. The document now lists 'Gusto Channel Partner Program Terms' in the legal documents table, where this entry was previously absent. This represents a documentation update to the policy's navigational structure rather than a substantive change to privacy practices, data handling, or consumer rights.

Gusto updated its Privacy Policy on June 28, 2026 with nine sentence-level edits, primarily formatting corrections and contact information updates. The substantive changes include correcting the contact email address from a bracket placeholder to privacy@gusto.com in three locations, fixing spacing errors in several section headers (removing spaces before colons and adding appropriate spacing), and clarifying that Communication Information may be shared with AI providers when AI-powered features are enabled. The operational effect is minor: the policy now explicitly discloses AI provider disclosure practices for AI-powered integrations, and the privacy contact email is properly formatted and consistent across the document.

Gusto updated three contact details in its Privacy Policy on June 21, 2026: the privacy email address changed from privacy@gusto.com to [email protected], and minor formatting corrections were made to section headings and spacing. The substantive data collection categories, disclosure practices, and AI provider sharing remain unchanged. These changes are administrative and do not alter what personal information Gusto collects, how it is used, or who receives it.

Gusto's Privacy Policy was updated on June 16, 2026, with one sentence modification detected in the document. The change involved updating a reference in the table of contents or document structure to include 'Accounting Business Development Agents Promotion Terms' in the linked documents list. No material change to data collection, processing, use, or consumer privacy rights was detected in the primary privacy notice language.

Gusto updated its Privacy Policy on June 13, 2026 with primarily technical and administrative corrections. The changes include correcting email contact addresses from a generic format to privacy@gusto.com, fixing spacing and formatting inconsistencies in section headers, and correcting quotation mark encoding in the Cookies section. These edits do not materially alter Gusto's data collection, use, or disclosure practices as previously described in the policy.

Gusto updated its Privacy Policy effective June 1, 2026, to clarify scope and expand disclosure of data collection practices. The policy now explicitly covers retirement accounts (401k and SEP IRA/IRA accounts), restructures how it describes data processing across different roles (service provider, employer, co-employer), adds Stripe as a third-party financial data collector alongside Plaid, and introduces a commitment to maintain de-identified data without re-identification. These changes establish clearer boundaries between when the Privacy Notice applies versus when separate notices govern, and specify new service providers users should be aware of.

The change detected in Gusto's Privacy Policy on May 28, 2026 involves a modification to one sentence within the document. The specific nature of the modified sentence cannot be determined from the diff context provided, as the truncated text does not reveal the substantive language change. Without visibility into what the sentence previously stated versus what it now states, the operational impact cannot be accurately assessed.

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.

The diff provided shows Gusto's Privacy Notice with minimal substantive changes. One sentence was modified, though the visible change in the diff context appears to be a character encoding issue (a typographic mark in the word 'Services'). The core privacy scope and introduction remain unchanged: Gusto describes how it collects, uses, and shares personal information as a controller or business when users interact with Gusto's small business platform. Without visibility into the specific sentence modification beyond the encoding artifact, the operational impact of this change cannot be determined from the provided information.
