Runway Content Policy

This document sets out what you are not allowed to create or submit using Runway, covering a broad range of harmful and explicit content as well as using other people's likeness without permission. Runway actively monitors both what you submit and what it generates using automated tools and human reviewers. Violating the policy can result in account suspension, and any encounter with child sexual abuse material triggers a permanent ban and a report to law enforcement-linked authorities.

Runway's Content Policy establishes a set of categorical prohibitions on content types users may generate or submit, a dual-layer enforcement mechanism combining automated systems and internal human review, and defined consequences for violations. Prohibited content categories include child sexual abuse material, child sexualization, adult nudity, sexually explicit content, non-consensual intimate imagery, content depicting child abuse or minors in harmful acts, child-directed characters or visual styles, and use of another person's image, video, or audio without consent. Runway reserves the right to suspend accounts for any policy violation, with indefinite suspension applied to all accounts associated with CSAM, and maintains a mandatory disclosure obligation to NCMEC upon awareness of CSAM.

As a user, your submissions and generated outputs are actively reviewed by both automated systems and Runway's internal human reviewers, so no content you submit or receive is private from Runway's internal review. You are prohibited from creating sexually explicit content, adult nudity, non-consensual intimate imagery, any content involving the sexualization or abuse of minors, child-directed characters or visual styles, and content using another person's image, video, or audio without their permission. A single CSAM-related violation results in indefinite suspension of all accounts associated with you. If you use another person's likeness, you must have that person's permission before submitting it to Runway.
