Providers who process customer content

Each company using Runner chooses which provider reads the conversations sent to it, so there is no single answer that holds for all of them. These are the providers available to choose, and what each does with what it receives.

The first list covers providers that process the content of customer conversations. The services Runner itself runs on follow it.

Providers a company can choose from

Anthropic

What they do
Reading support conversations to suggest a category and priority for them. Writing suggested replies to support conversations for a person to review before sending.
What reaches them
The text of the messages in a single support conversation, and the draft written back from it. No contact records, no account data, no billing information.
How long they keep it
Anthropic deletes the conversation text from its systems within 30 days of receiving it.
Where
Wherever the provider operates its service. We do not select or guarantee a processing region for this.

OpenAI

What they do
Reading support conversations to suggest a category and priority for them. Writing suggested replies to support conversations for a person to review before sending.
What reaches them
The text of the messages in a single support conversation, and the draft written back from it. No contact records, no account data, no billing information.
How long they keep it
OpenAI deletes the conversation text from its systems within 30 days of receiving it.
Where
Wherever the provider operates its service. We do not select or guarantee a processing region for this.

One option is not an outside provider at all: a company can run the model on its own systems, in which case nothing leaves that company and no provider appears on its list.

A company's own list — the providers it actually uses — is published on a page of its own, linked from the chat window on its site.

Provider retention and deletion details on this page were last checked against each provider's own published documentation on or after 2026-08-12.

The services Runner runs on

These companies host Runner and deliver what it sends. A service you connect on your own account is your choice and is not listed here.

Supabase
Runner's database and sign-in, on AWS in Seoul.
Vercel
Hosts the application and runs its scheduled jobs.
Amazon Web Services
Sends and receives email, through Amazon SES.
Google Cloud
Stores files such as imports, photos and video renders, and runs the browser that signs in to a customer's own website when a person approves an agent's sign-in, handling the password and the pages it reads for that one sign-in.
Twilio
Delivers calls and text messages, where a customer uses them.
LiveKit
Runs video rooms, where a customer uses them.

The terms this sits under

Conversation text sent for categorisation is processed under the provider's own commercial terms and data processing addendum, which cover their handling, retention, and deletion of it.

Those terms — not a separate arrangement of ours — are what limit what the provider may do with the text. The provider's commercial terms state it does not train its models on it.

Before we add a provider this page does not name, we update this page and email your account's owners at least 15 days before it starts.

Our data processing agreement treats this page as its list of sub-processors.

On AI included, Runner chooses which AI model handles each task, text and pictures alike, from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and xAI, and may change that choice at any time without notice. Your growth team's AI runs under our agreements with each of them. On your own key, you choose the vendor, and it runs under yours.

Voice input in Runner sends audio to an outside provider only when a person chooses OpenAI for it. The sentence they said, at most a minute long, then goes to OpenAI to be turned into text, on Runner's agreement with OpenAI on AI included, or under the workspace's own OpenAI key. Runner stores and logs neither the recording nor the text. The other two options, the browser's or phone's own speech service and a model the Runner desktop app runs on the computer, send no audio to Runner or to anyone on this list.

Video clips in Runner are made with Runway or Higgsfield. On AI included, Runner chooses between them for each clip and it runs under our agreement with that vendor; on your own key, it runs under yours. Both vendors' terms let them use what they are sent, the prompt and any picture or clip a video starts from, to train their own models. Runner asks Higgsfield to delete each clip within a day, and deletes it there as soon as Runner has its own copy.

Voiceovers, music and sound effects in Runner's videos are made with ElevenLabs, in its stock voices only. On AI included, it runs under our agreement with ElevenLabs, and Runner has turned off ElevenLabs' training on what Runner sends; on your own key, it runs under yours. Its terms let it train its own models on what it is sent, the script and the description of the sound, unless the account turns that off.

Changes to this list

  • Google Cloud, already on this list, now also runs the browser that signs in to a customer's own website when a person on the team approves an agent's sign-in. It handles the password and the pages it reads, for one sign-in at a time. No provider was added.
  • Named the services Runner runs on: Supabase, Vercel, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Twilio and LiveKit. Each already ran part of Runner, so no provider was added.
  • Turned off ElevenLabs' training on what Runner's own ElevenLabs account sends. No provider was added.
  • Named ElevenLabs, which already made the voiceovers, music and sound effects in Runner's videos. It may use what it is sent to train its own models.
  • Added Higgsfield, which makes video clips when Runner or a person chooses it, and named Runway, which already made video clips. Both may use what they are sent to train their own models. Higgsfield starts on AI included no earlier than 2026-11-12, 15 days after this notice.
  • Added voice recordings to what OpenAI may receive: when a person chooses OpenAI for voice input in Runner, the sentence they said goes to OpenAI to be turned into text. OpenAI was already on this list, so no provider was added.
  • Named Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and xAI as the AI vendors Runner may use on AI included, for text and pictures, and said Runner may move work among them without notice. Google already made pictures on AI included, and is now named here.

To get an email before a provider is added, write to privacy@runtheworld.ai and ask for provider updates. That notice goes to everyone who asked, and to the owners of every account, at least 15 days before the new provider starts. Ask for updates.

For the person whose conversation it is
