Business Transfer Data Disclosure

What it is

If Runway is sold, merges with another company, or goes bankrupt, your personal data — including biometric data and content — can be transferred to the new owner as a business asset.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

In the event of a sale or bankruptcy, your personal data becomes a transferable business asset that a new company can acquire — this new company is not bound by Runway's current privacy commitments and may have different data practices.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Your personal data, including sensitive biometric data, could be passed to a new company in a merger or sale without your specific consent, and the new owner's privacy practices may be very different from Runway's.

View original clause language
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.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) (legitimate interests basis for M&A data transfers must be balanced against data subject rights; acquirer must provide new Art. 13/14 notices); CCPA §1798.140 (data transfers in M&A contexts must comply with CCPA if acquiring entity assumes seller's obligations); FTC guidance on M&A data transfers (FTC has blocked or imposed conditions on acquisitions where consumer data was a material asset); BIPA §15(e) (biometric data cannot be sold, leased, traded or otherwise profited from — transfer in an M&A context may implicate this prohibition depending on structure).
