Content you post on Runway, including your profile and shared projects, can be seen by anyone and collected or copied by third parties such as search engines, and Runway takes no responsibility for how others use that information.
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 clause defines the visibility scope of user-generated content and allocates responsibility for secondary distribution and storage by third parties. It establishes that the entity does not control or assume liability for how publicly visible content is subsequently collected, stored, or repurposed by other parties.
Any content you share or make public on Runway (other than direct messages) may be indexed by search engines, copied, or used by third parties, and Runway disclaim responsibility for such downstream uses.

"Your profile and other user-generated content data (except for messages) may be visible to other users of the Service and the public. For example, other users of the Service or the public may have access to your information if you chose to make your profile or other information about you available to them through the Service, such as when you invite collaborators, provide comments, reviews, or share other content. This information can be seen, collected and used by others, including being cached, copied, screen captured or stored elsewhere by others (e.g., search engines), and we are not responsible for any such use of this information.— Excerpt from Runway's Runway Privacy Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages GDPR Article 17 (right to erasure) in EU/UK contexts, where users may request deletion of their data from Runway's systems but cannot compel Runway to remove cached or copied versions held by third parties. The FTC Act applies to deceptive practices in how user content visibility settings are presented to consumers. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The limitation of liability for third-party use of public user content is a common industry practice, but users may not appreciate the practical consequence that once content is shared, Runway cannot retrieve it from third-party caches or search engines. This is particularly relevant for creative professionals sharing work-in-progress content. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users invoking the right to erasure under GDPR should be informed that erasure from Runway's systems does not extend to third-party cached copies. California residents exercising deletion rights under CCPA face the same practical limitation. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers whose employees generate and share content on Runway as part of commercial projects should be aware that publicly shared content may be indexed and cached externally, with no contractual mechanism for Runway-initiated removal from third-party platforms. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should ensure that user-facing privacy settings clearly communicate the distinction between private and public content states, and that default settings for new accounts minimize inadvertent public content exposure. The policy notes that users can adjust privacy settings to make assets private, which should be prominently disclosed at the point of content creation.
