Users grant Ideogram a royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide, and irrevocable license to use, store, reproduce, display, and modify all uploaded and generated content for the duration it remains stored on the platform, including the right to pass these permissions to unnamed third-party contractual partners for service provision purposes.

This provision establishes a content license that persists for the full duration of storage on Ideogram's platform and extends sublicensing rights to third parties with whom Ideogram holds contractual relationships, without individually naming those parties. The scope of permitted uses includes improving and promoting the Services, which extends beyond core operational functions.
Interpretive note: The irrevocability qualifier is conditioned on storage duration, but the agreement does not specify a mechanism for users to trigger deletion of stored content to terminate the license, creating ambiguity about practical enforceability of the license termination condition.
Under this clause, content uploaded to or generated on the platform is licensed to Ideogram and its contractual partners on an irrevocable basis for as long as it is stored, covering reproduction, modification, distribution, and display. The agreement also authorizes other users of the Services to remix or reproduce non-private content as described in Section 4.2.

"you grant us a license to access, use, host, cache, store, reproduce, transmit, display, publish, distribute, and modify (for technical purposes, e.g., making sure content is viewable on smartphones as well as computers and other devices) Your Content but solely as required to be able to operate, improve, promote and provide the Services. You agree that these rights and licenses are royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide and irrevocable (for so long as Your Content is stored with us), and include a right for us to make Your Content available to, and pass these rights along to, others with whom we have contractual relationships related to the provision of the Services, solely for the purpose of providing such Services, and to otherwise permit access to or disclose Your Content to third parties if we determine such access is necessary to comply with our legal obligations.Excerpt from Ideogram's Terms of Service
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision may require evaluation under GDPR Articles 6 and 17 for EU/EEA users, as the irrevocable license scope and sublicensing to unnamed third parties may interact with rights to erasure and data portability. The relevant enforcement authority is the applicable EU member state Data Protection Authority. The provision does not specify a GDPR lawful basis for processing personal data embedded in user content. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The license scope extends to improving and promoting the Services, and sublicensing is permitted to unnamed third-party contractual partners. The irrevocability qualifier is conditioned on storage duration rather than on user withdrawal of consent, which may create tension with GDPR erasure rights for EU/EEA users. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users face heightened exposure given the absence of GDPR-specific consent or erasure mechanisms in the agreement text. California users may have CCPA/CPRA-related questions regarding personal information embedded in content, though the document does not expressly address this. Business users in regulated industries should assess whether sublicensing to unnamed partners is compatible with their own contractual obligations. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams and B2B users should assess whether the sublicensing right to unnamed third-party partners is compatible with their own confidentiality obligations or client data governance requirements. The provision does not include an audit right or disclosure mechanism for identifying which third parties receive sublicensed access. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether existing data mapping and consent mechanisms account for the sublicensing scope described in this provision. For organizations deploying Ideogram in a business context, a vendor assessment of Ideogram's third-party data sharing practices may be warranted given that the agreement does not enumerate the third parties to whom content may be sublicensed.
