Midjourney removed 7 sentences and structural elements from its Privacy Policy on April 21, 2026, including the introduction, sections on sharing personal data, security, children's privacy, links to other websites, and policy change procedures. The document now contains 127 sentences. The removed language appears to include core privacy disclosures and procedural safeguards that were previously indexed as separate policy sections.
The updated privacy policy removed language describing how Midjourney shares personal data, the security measures protecting that data, children's privacy safeguards, procedures for notifying users of policy changes, and links to related policies. Users no longer have explicit disclosure of these practices within the privacy policy itself. The removal of language on how policy changes are communicated may mean users have less notice of future privacy modifications than previously stated.
The updated privacy policy removes explicit disclosures of how Midjourney shares data, protects it, handles children's information, and notifies users of policy changes. These removals may create compliance gaps under GDPR and CCPA, which require transparent disclosure of data practices. The removal of children's privacy safeguards is particularly material for organizations serving minors and potentially creates COPPA compliance considerations.

Track changes →Midjourney removed core privacy policy sections covering data sharing, security, children's privacy, and the procedure for notifying users of policy changes. This reduction in disclosed practices and procedural safeguards may create compliance exposure under GDPR (which requires transparent disclosure of data processing and recipients), CCPA (which requires clear disclosure of information practices), and COPPA (which requires reasonable steps to protect children's privacy). Organizations using Midjourney for their own services should assess whether the removal of these disclosures affects their downstream privacy notices and vendor assessment practices.
