You must be at least 13 years old to use Runway; if you are under 18, you need a parent or guardian's permission to use the service.
Minors aged 13–17 using Runway with parental permission are subject to the same irrevocable AI training data license as adults — meaning their creative Inputs and Outputs are permanently licensed for AI model training.

Compare across platforms →Runway collects and processes data from users as young as 13 under COPPA, and the irrevocable AI training data license applies to minors' Inputs and Outputs — raising significant child privacy concerns.
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: The minimum age of 13 and parental consent requirement engages COPPA (15 U.S.C. §6501 et seq.) enforced by the FTC, which imposes strict requirements on operators of online services directed at or knowingly collecting data from children under 13. For users aged 13–17, GDPR Art. 8 requires member state-specific age thresholds (16 in most EU states, 13 in UK post-Brexit under UK GDPR with parental consent). California's Age-Appropriate Design Code (AB 2273) imposes additional obligations for services likely to be accessed by minors under 18, including default privacy settings and data minimization requirements.
