When you use Ideogram, you give the company a broad license to use both your prompts and the images you generate, including to operate the platform and improve its AI. If your creations are set to public, Ideogram can also use them in its advertising and marketing.
This analysis describes what Ideogram's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
This means images you create on Ideogram, if left public, can be used in the company's promotional materials or to train its AI models without any additional payment or notification to you.
Public outputs you generate may appear in Ideogram's marketing or be used to improve its AI systems; setting creations to private limits but may not entirely eliminate this license scope depending on how the terms apply to operational use.

"By using our Services, you grant Ideogram a royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, create derivative works of, publicly display, and publicly perform your Content (including prompts and Outputs) in connection with operating and improving our Services. If you post Content in public areas of the Services, you also grant Ideogram a royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, create derivative works of, publicly display, and publicly perform that Content for promoting and marketing the Services.— Excerpt from Ideogram's Ideogram Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages with FTC Act principles regarding clear and conspicuous disclosure of data and content use practices. For EU and UK users, the scope of this license may interact with GDPR requirements around lawful basis for processing personal data embedded in content, and the right to erasure, where personal data forms part of a generated output or prompt. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. The sublicensable, royalty-free, worldwide license covering both derivative works and public display is broad in scope. Enterprise customers or creative professionals relying on output exclusivity for commercial IP purposes face material exposure if they generate content under default public settings, as the license persists for content already submitted. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users may have grounds to challenge the breadth of this license under GDPR where prompts include personal data. California residents may have rights to know and limit how their content is used under CCPA. The practical enforceability of sublicensing rights in jurisdictions with strong moral rights protections (France, Germany) merits review. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams integrating Ideogram into creative workflows should assess whether this license conflicts with IP assignment obligations owed to their own clients. The sublicensable nature of the license means third parties designated by Ideogram could also use the content, which may trigger downstream contract review obligations. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations should audit default privacy settings for any Ideogram accounts used in business contexts, confirm that generated content is set to private where confidentiality is required, and update vendor agreements to reflect Ideogram's license rights when outputs are incorporated into client deliverables.
