Deleting your Luma account does not take back the rights you gave Luma to use your uploaded content — once your content has been used in their AI systems, that license is permanent.
This analysis describes what Luma 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
The clause establishes that account deletion does not retroactively revoke intellectual property licenses for content that has already been processed and integrated into Luma's operational systems or datasets prior to the deletion event.
Deleting your Luma account will not remove your content from Luma's AI models or aggregated datasets — your photos, videos, and other uploads remain licensed to Luma permanently after deletion.

"Note that deletion of your Account does not affect any licenses you have granted to Luma under this Agreement with respect to Input or Output that has already been incorporated into Luma's systems, models, or Aggregated Data prior to deletion.— Excerpt from Luma AI's Luma AI Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision directly conflicts with GDPR Art. 17 (right to erasure/'right to be forgotten'), which requires erasure of personal data upon request subject to limited exceptions. Luma's reliance on incorporated AI model weights as justification for non-erasure is a contested legal theory not yet definitively resolved by EU courts or the EDPB. CCPA §1798.105 similarly grants California consumers the right to request deletion, and the CPPA has signaled that incorporation into AI models is not a blanket exemption. The EDPB's Guidelines 05/2019 on the criteria of the Right to be Forgotten in search engine cases provide partial analogous guidance. (2)
