## DSGVO und Datenschutz
**Gesamteinschätzung:** Conditional

**Overall assessment of hosting & data: **

Runway is a managed SaaS tool for AI video, image generation, video editing, performance capture, voice/lip-sync, and creative production workflows. On-premises or private cloud hosting is not publicly documented as a standard option. Positives include strong video AI models, third-party model access, API/enterprise options, a credit system, teamspaces, SSO, and advanced security. Critical concerns remain cloud processing, possible US data flows, sensitive media content, images of individuals, voices, and the lack of a public EU-only hosting commitment. 


**
Conclusion: **

Runway is very strong for creative video and media production; for confidential corporate videos, personal material, or regulated data, Runway should only be used with an enterprise contract, DPA/security review, clear consents, and internal data classification.

**GDPR assessment:** From a GDPR perspective, Runway is conditionally suitable. 


**Positive** is that Runway documents SOC 2 Type II, encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, content isolation, private assets, and enterprise security processes. According to Runway, enterprise customers can request security reports via the Trust Center or the sales process. It is also positive that, according to the Help Center, users generally retain ownership and rights to uploaded and generated content. 


**Negative** is that Runway is a US provider and there is no publicly documented general EU-only data residency as a standard. Help documents mention AWS S3 domains with a US-East reference for uploads; for GDPR-critical use, the DPA, subprocessors, storage location, training use, deletion periods, and enterprise contract should therefore be reviewed. 


**Server location:** No verified EU-only standard region is publicly documented; cloud processing with a US connection is likely. Further link: Runway Data Security, Privacy Policy, Pricing and Usage Rights.

## Vorteile
- Very strong focus on high-quality AI video generation and creative control.
- Broad media platform: video, image, audio, workflows, third-party models, and API.
- According to Runway, commercial use of the outputs is not restricted; according to the Help Center, users retain rights to uploaded and generated content.
- Enterprise option with SSO, DPA, security/compliance features, and “no training on Customer Content.”
- Well suited for professional media, agency, and marketing workflows.

## Nachteile
- The free version is only suitable for testing: one-time credits, no Gen-4 video, limited projects, and limited storage.
- Monthly credits expire; workspace credits are shared per workspace and are not increased per additional editor.
- Web app credits and API credits are separate.
- Unlimited uses “Explore Mode” with a relaxed rate; generations may take longer and concurrent generations are limited.
- According to Runway, Gen-4.5 still has typical video AI limitations in causal reasoning, object permanence, and “success bias.”
- For non-Enterprise use, the Terms allow the use of inputs/outputs for training and improving the models.
