Image, Video & Voice Generation
Runway
High riskGenerative video platform for text-to-video, video editing, and visual effects, used by creative and marketing teams.
Is Runway safe for confidential data?
Runway processes uploaded footage and prompts in its cloud, and its consumer terms grant Runway a license to use inputs and outputs to train and improve its AI models, with enterprise agreements governed by separate terms. Uploaded assets are the real payload: pre-release product footage, ad concepts, footage of real employees and customers. As with most creative AI, the tier an employee signed up on — not the company's intentions — determines which terms apply to that footage.
Risk by plan
The same product often carries very different terms depending on the tier — consumer plans are where the exposure concentrates.
Consumer terms license inputs and outputs for AI-model training and improvement; personal workspaces hold company footage.
Negotiated training exclusions, SSO, admin controls, custom retention.
Data handling
Training on inputs
Consumer terms of use grant Runway a perpetual license to use inputs and outputs to train and improve its AI models; enterprise use is governed by separate Enterprise Services Terms that can exclude training use.
Retention
Uploaded assets and generations persist in the workspace until deleted.
Residency
U.S. cloud infrastructure; no customer-selectable residency on standard plans.

Frequently asked questions
Does Runway train on uploaded footage?
Consumer terms grant Runway a license to use inputs and outputs to train and improve its models; enterprise agreements are separate and can exclude it. If the footage shows unreleased products or identifiable people, the enterprise tier and a DPA are the defensible route.
What's sensitive about a video-generation prompt?
The prompt describes the campaign and the upload shows it: pre-launch creative, brand assets, faces of employees and customers who consented to marketing use — not to AI-platform processing under consumer terms.
How do we keep creative teams fast without losing the footage?
Give them a managed enterprise workspace, keep pre-release assets to it, and monitor which AI tools footage and scripts actually flow to. Sanitized AI inventories the AI destinations in use across the org, creative tools included.
