Runway's AI tools present moderate risk for professional use. While users retain ownership of their content, the platform claims broad perpetual rights to use all inputs and outputs for model training without opt-out options. Data handling practices are vague, with limited information about retention, deletion, and third-party sharing. The platform lacks enterprise-grade compliance certifications and security disclosures.
