Event Summary

Midjourney removed seven structural sections from its Data Retention & Privacy FAQ on May 12, 2026, including introductory content, articles on data sharing and security, children's privacy provisions, links to other websites, and change notification language. The document was reorganized, reducing it from 134 sentences to 127 sentences. The removal of these sections means certain privacy topics previously documented in the FAQ are no longer explicitly addressed in this particular document.

LOW

Consumer Impact

Midjourney removed several sections from its Data Retention & Privacy FAQ, including language describing data sharing practices, security measures, children's privacy protections, and the process for updating the policy. The removal of these sections means certain privacy topics are no longer explicitly documented in this FAQ. This change does not state that these practices have stopped or changed; it indicates that documentation has been reorganized or consolidated elsewhere.

Governance Analysis

The removal of privacy documentation sections from this FAQ reduces the amount of explicit privacy information available to users and regulators in this particular resource. Whether this materially affects Midjourney's privacy commitments depends on whether these sections have been republished in other official policy documents.

Institutional Analysis

Assessment

This change reflects a reorganization of privacy documentation rather than a material change in stated practices or obligations. The removal of sections on data sharing, security, and children's privacy from this specific FAQ does not necessarily indicate those practices have ceased; it may indicate documentation has been moved to other resources or the FAQ has been restructured. Organizations referencing this FAQ as their privacy disclosure should verify whether privacy commitments are documented elsewhere in Midjourney's policies.

Regulatory Exposure

COPPA (children's privacy), GDPR (data sharing transparency, security), CCPA (consumer rights), FTC Act (unfair or deceptive practices)
