The policy states that RunPod may modify the Privacy Policy at any time, and that notification consists of updating the date and posting the revised version on the Service. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of any modification constitutes acknowledgment that the updated policy applies.

This provision establishes that the primary notification mechanism for material privacy policy changes is a date update and website posting, and that continued platform use is treated as acceptance of modified terms. Under GDPR, this mechanism may not satisfy consent requirements for processing that requires explicit consent, and European-facing compliance teams should evaluate whether additional consent collection is required for modified processing purposes.
Interpretive note: Whether continued use constitutes legally sufficient acceptance of modified privacy terms depends on jurisdiction; under GDPR, this mechanism may not satisfy consent requirements for specific processing purposes.
Under this clause, users who continue to use RunPod's Service after a Privacy Policy update are treated as having acknowledged that the updated terms apply, without requiring affirmative agreement to specific changes. EU and UK users should note that GDPR consent standards may apply separately to specific processing purposes regardless of this general acknowledgment mechanism.

"We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by updating the date of this Privacy Policy and posting it on the Service or other appropriate means. Any modifications to this Privacy Policy will be effective upon our posting the modified version (or as otherwise indicated at the time of posting). In all cases, your use of the Service after the effective date of any modified Privacy Policy indicates your acknowledging that the modified Privacy Policy applies to your interactions with the Service and our business.Excerpt from RunPod's Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision implicates GDPR Articles 13 and 14, which require that data subjects be informed of processing changes, and Article 7, which governs consent standards. Under CCPA, material changes to privacy practices may require updated disclosures. The FTC Act's prohibition on unfair or deceptive practices is relevant to whether notice-by-posting is adequate disclosure of material changes. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The provision's treatment of continued use as acceptance is commonly observed in industry practice but may be insufficient under GDPR for processing that requires explicit consent. If a policy update introduces new processing purposes that require consent as the legal basis, posting alone would not satisfy GDPR consent requirements. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users face the greatest exposure, as GDPR requires specific, informed, and freely given consent for certain processing activities and does not recognize implied consent through continued service use for those purposes. California users may have rights to notice of material changes under CCPA. Other state privacy law jurisdictions may impose similar notice obligations. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: B2B customers whose use of RunPod's platform may be affected by privacy policy changes should evaluate whether their service agreements include change notification requirements that are more specific than posting on the website. Vendor assessments should account for the possibility of unilateral policy changes. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should evaluate whether material policy changes trigger GDPR re-consent obligations for EU and UK users for any processing relying on consent as its legal basis. A process for tracking policy version changes and associated data processing modifications should be maintained to support audit readiness.
