The updated policy explicitly discloses that Gusto sells or shares personal information (defined under state privacy laws) with third parties including business, advertising, and technology partners. The company describes 'sale' as providing information in exchange for valuable consideration, and 'share' as providing information for cross-context behavioral advertising. This disclosure formalizes practices that may have been permitted under previous language but were not explicitly described. You can opt out of sales or sharing of personal information through the Cookies, Analytics, and Other Tracking Technologies section.

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.
