Runway updated its Privacy Policy effective May 11, 2026 to expand the definition of user content to include prompts, audio, screen sharing, and content from third-party applications connected to the service, as well as transcripts and recordings. The policy also added Japan, Indiana, Kentucky, and Rhode Island to the list of jurisdictions whose residents have specified privacy rights. Minor formatting corrections were made to contact procedures.
Data controllers: Organizations serving users in these four additional jurisdictions must now acknowledge and facilitate the same privacy rights (access, deletion, correction, opt-out) that apply to residents of other listed jurisdictions.
The updated policy broadens the categories of information considered 'user content' to explicitly include prompts you input, audio files, screen sharing activity, and transcripts or recordings generated through the service. This clarifies that content from third-party applications you connect with Runway, along with associated metadata, falls under the policy's user content definition. Additionally, the policy now recognizes that residents of Japan, Indiana, Kentucky, and Rhode Island have jurisdiction-specific privacy rights similar to those already listed for other states and regions, such as the right to know what personal information has been collected, to request deletion or correction, and to object to certain processing.
→ If you are a resident of Japan, Indiana, Kentucky, or Rhode Island, you can now submit privacy rights requests (access, deletion, correction, opt-out) to privacy@runwayml.com using the same procedures described for other states and regions.
