User-Generated Content Public Visibility

What it is

Content you post on Runway — including your profile and shared projects — may be visible to the public and can be collected, copied, or stored by search engines and other users, and Runway takes no responsibility for this.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If you share projects, profiles, or content publicly on Runway, that content can be indexed by search engines, copied by other users, and used in ways you did not intend — and Runway accepts no liability for such uses. Review your privacy settings to ensure assets are set to private if you do not want them publicly visible.

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.
  • Export Your Data
    Log into your Runway account and navigate to privacy settings. Review the visibility settings for your files, images, and projects and set them to private if you do not want them publicly accessible.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Once content is made public on Runway, you lose practical control over it — it can be copied, stored, and used by third parties, and Runway explicitly disclaims responsibility for what happens to it.

View original clause language
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.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: GDPR Art. 17 (right to erasure is limited for publicly posted content that has been further disseminated by third parties); CCPA §1798.105 (deletion rights may be limited for public information); COPPA 16 CFR §312 (if minors post public content, COPPA deletion and parental consent requirements apply); Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (47 U.S.C. §230) provides Runway with immunity for third-party content but does not eliminate Runway's responsibility for its own disclosure practices.
