Consumer impact (what this means for users)

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.
  • Delete Your Data
    Contact Runway's support team to request deletion of your data and inquire about the scope of data retained for AI training purposes. Note that the license is stated as irrevocable, so applicable law (such as GDPR or CCPA) may determine whether deletion requests affect training data.
