“By using the Services, you grant to Playground AI, its successors, and assigns a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicensable, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, prepare Derivative Works…”
The license to 'improve the Services' combined with a perpetual, irrevocable grant strongly implies that inputs and outputs may be used for model training or fine-tuning. No opt-out mechanism is described.

“Biometric data Vendors Affiliates Entities for legal and safety purposes As consistent with your consent Provide the Service Legal and safety Business transfers As authorized by you”
Biometric data is collected and disclosed to vendors, affiliates, and entities for legal purposes, and may be transferred in business transfers. Biometric data carries significant sensitivity and legal risk under state biometric privacy laws.
“Playground AI offers a free and paid Service. You can learn more about our paid subscription offering here or within our mobile application.”
The document references free and paid tiers but does not detail the substantive differences in rights, data handling, or feature access between them within the terms document itself.
“Account administrators. When you join a Runway Enterprise or team account, the administrator of that team may access and control your account.”
Enterprise and team tier users face additional privacy risk: account administrators can access and control their accounts, which does not appear to apply to individual Free/Pro users.
