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.
