Midjourney's privacy policy, updated in an update detected on September 5, 2026, expands the definition of personal data collected and clarifies how that data is used across multiple categories. The updated policy now explicitly lists additional data types including credit card information, organizational data, contact details, and data collected through third-party sources and tracking technologies.

Consumers: Midjourney is now explicitly transparent about more categories of personal information it collects and stores.
Consumers: Midjourney now explicitly states it uses your data for additional purposes beyond service operation, including marketing for events and promotions.
