"We may disclose information about you in the context of actual or prospective business transactions (e.g., investments in Runway, financing of Runway, public stock offerings, or the sale, transfer or merger of all or part of our business, assets or shares), for example, we may need to disclose certain information about you to prospective counterparties and their advisers. We may also disclose information about you to an acquirer, successor, or assignee of Runway as part of any merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or similar transaction, and/or in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which information about you is transferred to one or more unaffiliated parties as one of our business assets.— Excerpt from Runway's Runway Privacy Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Business transfer data disclosures are evaluated under GDPR Articles 6 and 13 in EU/UK contexts, where transfers must have a lawful basis and users must be informed of new data controllers. Under CCPA, acquirers who receive personal information are generally required to honor opt-out elections and existing privacy commitments unless users are notified and given an opportunity to opt out. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The provision permits disclosure to prospective counterparties and their advisers prior to transaction completion, which broadens the universe of parties who may access personal data before any deal closes. This is common in M&A contexts but creates interim privacy exposure during due diligence phases. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users have GDPR-based rights to be informed of a new data controller and may have rights to object; the policy does not specify notification procedures in the event of a business transfer. California residents have CCPA-based rights that any successor must honor. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers should be aware that their employee data processed through Runway could transfer to an acquirer, potentially requiring renegotiation of data processing agreements. Due diligence on Runway as a vendor should include review of data transfer provisions in the context of potential ownership changes. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should monitor for material changes to Runway's ownership structure and review the policy's change notification provisions to understand how users will be informed of a business transfer. Data processing agreements with Runway should include provisions addressing continuity of data protection obligations upon change of control.
