Runway shares your personal data with advertising and analytics companies, which several US state laws classify as a 'sale' of your data even though no money changes hands, and you can opt out using the privacy choices link in the website footer.
This analysis describes what Runway's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The provision clarifies Runway's position on data sharing disclosures and establishes an opt-out mechanism to comply with privacy regulations that require such choice for sales of personal information. It also acknowledges that certain browser tools or privacy signals may interfere with the opt-out functionality.
Interpretive note: Whether Runway's opt-out mechanism fully satisfies the technical and operational requirements of CCPA, CPRA, and analogous state statutes (particularly regarding GPC signal recognition and opt-out durability) is a jurisdiction-specific legal question that depends on regulatory guidance and enforcement posture.
Your personal data is shared with third-party advertising and analytics partners by default, and opting out requires affirmative action on each device and each browser you use, with the opt-out potentially lost if you clear cookies.
How other platforms handle this
Protect us, our business, our users, and others, for example to enforce our terms of service, prevent spam or other unwanted communications, and investigate or protect against fraud
we may use, retain or share information with law enforcement or others in circumstances where a person's vital interests require protection, such as in the case of emergencies.
In some cases, in order to show you more relevant ads, we disclose with social media platforms and other advertising partners, information about actions you take on our websites and apps, such as which pages you visit and which ads you saw.
"While we do not 'sell' personal information in the traditional sense, our disclosure of personal information to third-party advertising and analytics partners as described in the section titled 'When we disclose the information we collect about you' above may be considered a 'sale' subject to these opt-out rights. You can opt out of such disclosures by clicking the 'Your Privacy Choices' link on our website footer, or designate an authorized agent to do so on your behalf. Note, if you use a cookie blocker such as Ghostery, it may block visibility of this tool or link, including in your web footer. If you have enabled a legally recognized browser-based opt out preference signal (such as Global Privacy Control) on your browser, we recognize such preference in accordance and to the extent required by applicable law.Excerpt from Runway's Privacy Policy
