This provision establishes that content generated using the platform may be publicly associated with a user's account identifiers unless private content settings are configured. The reservation of rights to publish or display content with or without attribution has implications for user expectations of content ownership and visibility.
The updated policy now provides explicit disclosure of which categories of personal information are collected and which parties receive each category. Previously, the policy required readers to consult other sections to identify this information. The updated table format discloses that identifiers such as name and email address, visual information including uploaded images, and geolocation data may be shared with other users, vendors, service providers, login integration partners, social media widgets, and affiliates. This change provides clearer visibility into data sharing practices without altering what data is collected or shared, but rather how that information is disclosed.
View change record →The updated policy no longer provides a single consolidated view of which specific categories of recipients receive which types of personal data. Previously, users could see in one table that identifiers, commercial information, geolocation data, images, account credentials, and precise location were shared with specific recipient categories such as vendors, service providers, other users, login partners, social media widgets, and tracking technology providers. The revised policy instead directs users to review other sections of the document to find this information. The specificity and accessibility of this disclosure has been reduced, though the underlying data-sharing practices may remain unchanged.
View change record →Under this provision, images generated using Ideogram's Services may be publicly displayed alongside the user's account handle and profile picture on the platform. The agreement also reserves the right for Ideogram and others to reproduce or publish generated content with or without attribution to the creating user.

"Through your use of the Services, including when you enter User Input and generate an image that, alongside information that may identify you such as your account handle and account picture, is publicly available on the Services. You may also disclose information when you choose to directly interact with other users through our Services. We or others may store, display, reproduce, publish, or otherwise use or disclose such information, and may or may not attribute it to you.Excerpt from Ideogram's Privacy Policy
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision implicates GDPR Articles 5 and 6 regarding transparency and lawful basis for public disclosure of personal data (account handles and profile pictures), and CCPA disclosure requirements regarding how personal information is made available to other users. The combination of user identifiers with generated content in a public context may engage additional data protection considerations in EU jurisdictions. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The disclosure that generated content may be publicly displayed with user identifiers is operationally significant for users who may not anticipate public visibility of their activity. The reservation of rights to publish without attribution introduces additional complexity regarding the relationship between this provision and any intellectual property rights asserted in the Terms of Service. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU users have heightened exposure given GDPR transparency requirements and the right to erasure of publicly posted content. California minors under 18 have a specific right under this policy to request removal of publicly posted User Input. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Institutional customers deploying Ideogram for employee or customer use should assess whether the public display default is consistent with their data handling obligations and whether private content settings are available and configurable at an account or organizational level. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should verify that the private content settings described in the policy are accessible and functional for relevant user populations, and should assess whether the public display of account identifiers alongside generated content requires disclosure in organizational privacy notices.
