Perplexity AI
· Perplexity Terms of Service
If you have a legal dispute with Perplexity, you must resolve it through one-on-one binding arbitration rather than suing in court or joining a class action lawsuit. The only exception is for intellectual property claims, which can still go to court....
Why it matters: This provision removes the right to a jury trial and the ability to join with other users in a class action, which means individual consumers cannot pool resources to challenge Perplexity's practices collectively....

Perplexity AI
· Perplexity Terms of Service
When you type queries or submit any content to Perplexity, you give the company a broad, free license to use that content in many ways, including to train and improve its AI models....
Why it matters: This clause means that queries, uploaded documents, and other content submitted through Perplexity may be used to train AI models, not just to respond to the immediate search request.

Perplexity AI
· Perplexity Terms of Service
Even if Perplexity causes you harm through its service, the maximum amount the company owes you is either $100 or what you paid in the last 12 months, whichever is higher. You cannot recover lost profits, data loss, or other indirect damages....
Why it matters: The $100 floor on total liability means that in many cases, the maximum financial remedy available to a user against Perplexity is $100, regardless of the actual harm caused, which significantly limits practical recourse for most users....

Perplexity AI
· Perplexity Terms of Service
Perplexity's service is not permitted for children under 13, and the company states it will delete personal data if it discovers a child under 13 has used the service....
Why it matters: The prohibition on under-13 use and the stated data deletion commitment engage COPPA compliance obligations, but the terms rely primarily on users self-certifying their age rather than implementing active age verification, which is an area of increasing regulatory scrutiny....
-

Runway
· Runway Privacy Policy
When you use certain Runway features to create videos or audio, the service may collect your voice recordings and face scans, which are considered biometric data under some state laws. Runway states it only uses this biometric data to deliver the specific feature you requested....
Why it matters: Biometric identifiers such as face scans and voiceprints are among the most sensitive personal data categories and are subject to specific consent, retention, and destruction requirements under laws such as Illinois BIPA and Texas CUBI. The policy does not disclose a specific biometric data retention schedule, which is a material requirement under several of these statutes....
-
Runway
· Runway Privacy Policy
Runway acknowledges that sharing your personal data with advertising and analytics companies may legally qualify as a 'sale' under California and other state privacy laws, even though no money changes hands. You have the right to opt out of this type of data sharing....
Why it matters: This disclosure is significant because it confirms that Runway shares personal data with third-party advertising and analytics partners in a manner that may trigger opt-out rights under CCPA and similar state laws. Users in approximately fifteen named states can exercise this opt-out right....
-

Runway
· Runway Privacy Policy
For EU and UK users, Runway relies on 'legitimate interests' as its legal basis for a broad set of data processing activities including analytics, business improvement, security, and fraud prevention. This means Runway has assessed that its business interests outweigh user privacy interests for these activities....
Why it matters: Legitimate interests is one of the broadest GDPR legal bases and is used here to cover analytics, service improvement, security, and fraud prevention. EU and UK users have the right to object to processing carried out under legitimate interests, which could limit how Runway processes their data....
-
Runway
· Runway Privacy Policy
Runway's service is not intended for children under 13, and Runway states it does not knowingly collect personal data from this age group. Parents who believe a child under 13 has submitted data can contact Runway to request deletion....
Why it matters: This provision establishes Runway's COPPA compliance posture, relying on a 'not directed to children' standard. The policy does not describe any age verification mechanism, which is a common limitation in online service COPPA compliance. The collection of biometric data from users raises heightened considerations if any underage users access the service....
-
Runway
· Runway Privacy Policy
Your personal data may be stored and processed in the United States or other countries that may have different or less protective privacy laws than your home country. Using the service is treated as acknowledgment of this transfer....
Why it matters: For EU and UK users, international data transfers to the United States require a lawful transfer mechanism under GDPR Chapter V, such as Standard Contractual Clauses. The policy's reliance on user acknowledgment through service use as a consent mechanism for transfers may not satisfy GDPR transfer requirements....

-
Runway
· Runway Terms of Service
If you have a dispute with Runway, you must resolve it through private arbitration rather than court, and you cannot join a class action lawsuit against the company, unless you opt out within the specified window....
Why it matters: The arbitration clause requires individual dispute resolution, waiving class action participation and jury trial rights, and the agreement states it applies to disputes that arose prior to the agreement's effective date, potentially reaching back in time....
-

Runway can change these terms at any time, and your continued use of the service after changes are posted counts as your agreement to the new terms....

Writer
· Writer Trust Center
The Trust page states that Writer's platform is designed to meet enterprise security, privacy, and compliance requirements, but does not provide specific contractual commitments or legal obligations in the text available....
