What it is

Midjourney can update this privacy policy and will try to notify you by email or website notice before material changes take effect.

This analysis describes what Midjourney'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)

The policy reserves the right to modify its terms and relies on email or website notice for material changes, meaning users who do not monitor their email or the website may miss updates that affect how their data is handled.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Midjourney may change how it collects or uses your data and will notify you via email or a website notice; continued use of the service after a policy change may constitute acceptance of the new terms depending on how Midjourney structures its update process.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Policy change notification practices engage GDPR transparency requirements (Article 13/14) and FTC expectations for clear and timely notice of material changes to data practices. CCPA/CPRA requires that consumers be notified of material changes to privacy practices at or before the time of collection. The adequacy of email or website notice as the exclusive notification mechanism may be evaluated against GDPR's requirement for clear and accessible communication. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. Policy update notice provisions are standard across industry. The primary compliance risk is whether the notification mechanism is sufficiently reliable to reach all affected users, particularly for material changes affecting AI training use, default public settings, or third-party sharing. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users have GDPR rights to be informed of changes to processing activities; notification by email satisfies this requirement in most DPA interpretations if the email is sent before changes take effect. California's CPRA requires notification of material changes prior to application to previously collected data. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers should include provisions in their agreements with Midjourney requiring advance notice of material policy changes and contractual rights to object or terminate if changes are incompatible with their own compliance obligations. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should establish a process for monitoring Midjourney policy changes, given that website-posted notices may not reliably reach all users. Email notification tracking and acknowledgment workflows may be warranted for regulated enterprise deployments.
