RunPod collects data about you and your device automatically, and shares your personal information with advertising companies to show you targeted ads. If RunPod is acquired, merges with another company, or goes through bankruptcy, your personal information may be transferred to the new entity. You agree not to submit sensitive personal data (such as medical information or government ID numbers) through the Service, and RunPod will notify you of significant policy changes only by updating and reposting the policy — so you would need to check for updates yourself.
This Privacy Policy establishes RunPod's data collection, usage, sharing, and retention practices for users of its Service. RunPod and its advertising partners automatically log user and device information and share personal data with third-party advertising companies for interest-based advertising through cookies and similar technologies. The policy permits disclosure of personal information in connection with actual or prospective business transactions — including mergers, acquisitions, financing, and insolvency proceedings — and commits only to 'try' to ensure equivalent protection when transferring personal data outside Europe, a standard that falls short of a guarantee. Users bear the obligation to exclude sensitive personal information from the Service, material policy changes are communicated solely by updating the policy date and reposting on the Service, and RunPod disclaims any guarantee of security despite employing technical, organizational, and physical safeguards.
Your personal information is shared with third-party advertisers and may be disclosed to prospective or actual acquirers, investors, or successors, including in scenarios that never complete. RunPod uses cookies alongside its advertising partners to collect behavioral data for ad targeting. Transfers of your data outside Europe are protected only on a best-efforts basis, and RunPod has disclosed that the US has no GDPR adequacy decision. You are entitled to exercise your privacy rights without discrimination as provided by applicable State Privacy Laws, and you can do so by contacting RunPod as described in the policy. You must not submit sensitive personal information through the Service, as that obligation rests on you.
