What it is

Midjourney shares your data with service providers, business partners, and payment processors, and may transfer it if the company is sold; it states it does not sell your 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 authorizes sharing personal information with service providers, business partners, and payment processors, and permits data transfer in the event of a business acquisition; the categories of business partners are not fully enumerated, which limits user visibility into who may receive their data.

Interpretive note: The policy does not enumerate all business partners or specify the data categories shared with each, limiting the ability to assess the full scope of third-party sharing.
