Event Summary

Runway removed a reference to 'SDK' and 'Robotics SDK' from the footer navigation section of their privacy policy on May 12, 2026. The product listing previously included both 'Robotics SDK' as a standalone entry and 'SDK' as part of the product navigation. The updated footer now lists 'Robotics' without the SDK designation. This appears to be a product naming or organizational change in how Runway presents its offerings on the privacy policy page, with no apparent change to privacy rights, data handling practices, or consumer obligations.

LOW

Consumer Impact

This change does not materially affect consumer privacy rights, data handling, or obligations under Runway's privacy policy. The modification is a product navigation update in the footer—removal of 'SDK' and 'Robotics SDK' references—and does not alter the substantive terms governing data collection, processing, or consumer rights. The policy's privacy protections and disclosures remain unchanged.

Governance Analysis

This change does not materially affect privacy policy substance. The removal of SDK product references from the footer is a product navigation or naming update with no operational impact on how Runway collects, processes, or protects consumer data.
