What it is

Deleting your Luma account stops future data collection but does not cancel any rights you already granted Luma over content that has been used in its AI models or data systems.

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

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision directly limits the practical effect of account deletion as a privacy remedy, meaning users cannot fully remove their content's influence from Luma's AI systems even after closing their account.

Interpretive note: The enforceability of this provision against EU and California users may be limited by GDPR Article 17 and CCPA statutory deletion rights; applicable law may override the contractual license persistence assertion in these jurisdictions.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Even if you delete your Luma account and request removal of your personal data, any content you submitted that was already incorporated into Luma's AI models, systems, or aggregated datasets will continue to be covered by the licenses you granted, with no mechanism described for removing it.

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 support@lumalabs.ai to request account deletion and data removal. For EU or California users wishing to exercise statutory deletion rights that may supersede the agreement's license persistence assertion, make a formal data subject access and erasure request referencing your GDPR or CCPA rights.
