Children's Data Policy

What it is

Runway's service is not intended for children under 13, and the company says it will delete any data it discovers was collected from children under 13.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If your child under 13 uses Runway — including features that collect biometric data like facial scans and voice recordings — Runway should delete that data if notified, but the policy does not describe proactive age verification measures to prevent this collection in the first place.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

While Runway states it does not target children under 13, the policy does not describe any active age verification measures — meaning children could inadvertently use the service and have their data, potentially including biometric data, collected.

View original clause language
The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information of a child under such age, we will take steps to delete such information from our files as soon as possible.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: COPPA 15 U.S.C. §6501 et seq. and 16 CFR §312 (prohibits collection of personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent; requires a clear and conspicuous privacy policy describing data practices; enforced by the FTC with civil penalties up to $51,744 per violation); GDPR Art. 8 (consent of child for information society services; member states may set age threshold between 13-16); UK GDPR and Age Appropriate Design Code (ICO Children's Code — requires high privacy by default for children's services).
