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 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.

Gusto's Privacy Notice was updated on May 19, 2026, with one sentence modified in the table of contents or related reference materials. The change appears to be a minor addition to the Referee terms section, adding language about 'increase reward exp'. This is a minimal editorial or structural update that does not materially alter privacy practices, data handling procedures, or consumer rights as stated in the substantive privacy policy.

Gusto updated contact email addresses in its privacy policy and related terms. The company replaced several branded email addresses (legal-opt-outs@gusto.com and support@gusto.com) with a generic inbox address ([email protected]). This appears to be an administrative change to consolidate email routing, and does not alter the substance of privacy rights, data handling, or user obligations.

Gusto updated its Background Checks Terms of Service on May 1, 2026, elevating it from Version 6.0 to Version 7.0 and changing the effective date to April 29, 2026. The updated terms now explicitly define the scope of the background check service, clarify that these terms are binding on customers who request or use background checks through Gusto's platform in partnership with Checkr, and establish that by checking a box, initiating a background check, or accessing the service, customers agree to be bound by the full Background Check Customer Agreement. The change adds 75 sentences of new clarifying language around definitions, authorization, and binding agreement mechanics, making the contractual relationship more explicit.

The promotion runs from April 29, 2026 through June 29, 2026 (or until all licenses are claimed), and participating partners receive two consecutive months of free access. This is a limited-time product offer, not a change to Gusto's core privacy or data handling practices.

Gusto added a new service called Gusto Business Compliance (GBC) to its platform on April 26, 2026. The GBC Service helps employers with state and local tax registrations, filings, and ongoing compliance support. This is a paid add-on service with its own set of terms that take priority over Gusto's main employer terms when disputes arise about the GBC Service specifically.

Gusto updated its Data Processing Addendum on April 16, 2026, adding 60 sentences that clarify how the company handles employer data under data protection laws. The new language specifies the scope of the addendum (it applies only to employers subject to data protection laws), defines key terms, establishes when the agreement becomes binding, and clarifies that the addendum takes precedence over the base service agreement if there is a conflict. For employers, this means clearer rules about how their employee and payroll data is processed and protected.
