If you use the free version of Ideogram, every image you generate is automatically shown publicly on the platform — other people can see and potentially share what you create.
Free-tier users have no privacy protection for their generated images — any creative work, including accidental disclosures of personal or business-sensitive content in prompts, is immediately and permanently public-facing on Ideogram's platform.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Automatic public disclosure of user-generated content implicates GDPR Art. 5(1)(f) (integrity and confidentiality principle) and Art. 25 (data protection by design and by default), which require that data is not made publicly available without specific user action. CCPA §1798.100 grants California residents the right to know what personal information is collected and disclosed. Canada's PIPEDA requires consent for collection and disclosure of personal information. The FTC Act Section 5 is engaged if users are not clearly informed at sign-up that their generated images will be public.
