In an update detected on September 2, 2026, Midjourney removed six substantive sections from its Data Retention & Privacy FAQ, including sections on Introduction, Collecting and Using Your Personal Data, Sharing of Personal Data, Security of Personal Data, Children's Privacy, Links to Other Websites, Changes to this Privacy Policy, and Supplemental Terms for Certain Regions. The document was restructured to display a navigation menu of categories and documentation links instead of the previous privacy policy content. The operational effect is that previously published privacy disclosures and explanations of data practices, children's protections, and regional terms are no longer present in this FAQ.
Consumers: Users no longer see documented explanation of what data Midjourney collects about them or how it uses that data.
Consumers: Users no longer see documented explanation of whether or how Midjourney shares their personal data with third parties.
Consumers: Users no longer see documented explanation of how Midjourney protects personal data from loss, misuse, or unauthorized access.
Minors: A dedicated section explaining how Midjourney handles privacy for users under 16 or under parental consent requirements is no longer published.
EU and California residents: Users in the EU and California no longer see published supplemental terms explaining their specific legal rights and protections.
The updated document removes previously published privacy policy sections that explained how Midjourney collects, uses, and shares personal data; how it protects that data; and how it handles privacy for children. These sections are no longer available in the FAQ. The removal of supplemental terms addressing regional legal requirements may also affect users in the EU and California who previously relied on these disclosures to understand their specific rights and protections.
