What it is

California residents can ask Midjourney what data it holds on them, request its deletion, or correct it, and Midjourney states it does not sell personal data under California law.

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 discloses that Midjourney does not sell personal information under CCPA but does not address whether data shared with business partners for advertising or other purposes constitutes CPRA-regulated sharing, which may carry its own opt-out requirement distinct from the sale opt-out.

Interpretive note: The policy does not explicitly address whether data sharing with business partners for advertising-related purposes constitutes CPRA-regulated sharing requiring a separate opt-out mechanism, creating interpretive ambiguity.

This clause type exists across 5149 other provisions on other platforms.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

California residents can submit data access, deletion, or correction requests to privacy@midjourney.com; the policy's assertion that it does not sell personal information does not necessarily preclude sharing that may require a separate opt-out under CPRA's cross-context behavioral advertising provisions.

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
    California residents should email privacy@midjourney.com identifying themselves as a California resident and specifying the right they wish to exercise (know, delete, or correct personal information); include sufficient identifying information to verify your request.
