What it is

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision permits disclosure of user personal data, including biometric data and user content, to unaffiliated third parties in connection with corporate transactions, including to prospective counterparties before any transaction is finalized. The scope of data transferable as a business asset is not specifically limited.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

In the event of a sale, merger, acquisition, or bankruptcy involving Runway, your personal data including account information, content, and potentially biometric data may be transferred to a new owner or unaffiliated parties, who would then be subject to their own privacy practices.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.

"
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.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Business asset transfers involving personal data engage GDPR Articles 13/14 (transparency requirements for new controllers), and may implicate CCPA provisions regarding the transfer of personal information to third parties. In the event of a transfer to an entity outside the EEA or UK, additional transfer mechanism requirements under GDPR Chapter V would apply. The FTC has addressed data transfers in the context of corporate transactions and bankruptcy proceedings. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The provision permits disclosure to prospective counterparties and advisers during due diligence, prior to any transaction closing, which expands the universe of parties who may access user personal data beyond those who ultimately acquire the business. The policy does not specify what restrictions apply to prospective counterparty use of disclosed data. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users have GDPR rights that follow their data regardless of corporate transaction; the acquiring entity would need to establish its own lawful basis for processing. California residents may have rights under CCPA if their data is transferred to an entity that materially changes how it is processed. Insolvency proceedings in the US may be subject to FTC guidance on the treatment of consumer data as a business asset. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers with data processing agreements should review whether those agreements address the treatment of employee and end-user personal data in the event of a Runway corporate transaction. Successor entities should be contractually required to honor existing data processing commitments or provide notice and opportunity to object. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether the privacy policy's business transfer provision is consistent with GDPR requirements to inform data subjects of the identity of new controllers following a transfer. In the event of a transaction, compliance teams should evaluate whether a privacy impact assessment is required and whether regulatory notification obligations are triggered in relevant jurisdictions.
