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 policy states that Gusto discloses identifiers and internet or electronic usage data to advertising, business, and technology partners. Under U.S. state privacy laws, this disclosure constitutes a 'sale' or 'share' of personal information. The policy now explicitly describes this practice and provides an opt-out mechanism. You can opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information through the Cookies, Analytics, and Other Tracking Technologies section.
View change record →The updated privacy notice now explicitly covers retirement account access and use (401(k), SEP IRA, IRA), expanding the scope of activities governed by Gusto's privacy practices. The policy introduces optional AI-powered integrations that, when enabled, may disclose personal information to third-party AI providers such as OpenAI; Gusto states it will not permit these providers to use the data to train their models. The revised terms also clarify when the privacy notice does not apply (when Gusto acts as a processor or service provider) and direct users to the Employer Data Processing Addendum for those scenarios. You can review the specific AI providers and integration options available through your Gusto account settings before enabling any AI features.
View change record →You may opt out of Gusto selling or sharing your personal information, and separately opt out of automated decision-making processes.
