What it is

When you create images or submit prompts on Leonardo.Ai, you give the company and its partners a permanent, royalty-free worldwide right to use, copy, modify, and sublicence that content to improve their platform and services.

This analysis describes what Leonardo AI'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

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This licence is broad in scope and duration, covering sublicensing rights, which means your prompts and AI-generated images could be used by Leonardo.Ai's affiliates or successors beyond your direct relationship with the platform.

Interpretive note: The exact boundary between inputs that constitute personal data and those that do not may vary by jurisdiction, affecting how GDPR interacts with this licence in practice.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Any text prompts, uploaded images, and AI-generated outputs you create on Leonardo.Ai are subject to a perpetual, worldwide licence granted to the company, meaning you cannot effectively revoke permission for the company to use that content in improving or operating its services. Users submitting commercially sensitive or personal content as prompts should be aware of this ongoing licence.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Contact Leonardo.Ai at contact@leonardo.ai to request deletion of your personal data or specific content. Note that the terms assert an irrevocable licence, so clarify with the company what deletion covers in practice.
