Summary

This document establishes Midjourney's data collection and processing practices for users of its website, Discord servers, and related services. Midjourney collects usernames, submitted prompts and images, IP addresses, browsing activity, cookies, and derived behavioral inferences, with authorization to share this information with advertising partners, analytics providers, and acquirers in business transactions. Users in the EU, UK, and California are granted rights to request access, correction, and deletion of personal data through www.midjourney.com/account.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is Midjourney's privacy policy (last updated June 2, 2025) governing the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data collected through midjourney.com, Discord servers administered by Midjourney, and any other means of accessing the Services, with legal bases including consent, contract performance, and legitimate interests. The agreement states that Midjourney collects identifiers, IP addresses, user prompts (including text, images, and spoken input converted to text), usage data, cookies, contact information, organizational information, commercial information, internet activity, sensory data (uploaded images), and inferences drawn about users; the terms authorize sharing this data with service providers, analytics and advertising partners, and third parties in the context of business transfers or law enforcement requests. The policy discloses that Midjourney draws inferences about users to create profiles reflecting preferences, characteristics, and behavior, and that personal data may be used for machine learning training, which represents a materially distinct operational scope compared to many consumer-facing service privacy policies; the agreement asserts that cross-border data transfers are authorized by user consent to the policy itself, a mechanism whose adequacy under GDPR and UK data protection law may require evaluation beyond the assertion made here. The policy engages GDPR and UK GDPR for EEA, Switzerland, and UK users, citing consent, contract performance, and legitimate interests as legal bases, and the CCPA for California residents, disclosing collection and disclosure across multiple data categories including identifiers, commercial information, internet activity, sensory data, and inferences; EU users are provided rights to access, correction, deletion, portability, and objection, while California residents receive CCPA-specific rights including a do-not-sell or share opt-out. Compliance teams should note that the policy's use of personal data to train machine learning models, combined with the breadth of collected data categories including user-submitted prompts and uploaded images, creates material data governance obligations under GDPR and CCPA that warrant ongoing audit of consent mechanisms, data retention schedules, and vendor data processing agreements.

4 important changes detected

4 versions captured · Last updated: May 2026

What changed Midjourney restructured its Privacy Policy on May 2, 2026 by adding table of contents entries and section headers for standard privacy topics including data collection, data sharing, security, children's privacy, third-party links, policy changes, and supplemental regional terms. The underlying policy content remains functionally the same; the change is organizational and structural in nature, making the document more navigable and establishing clearer section boundaries.
Why this matters The restructured Privacy Policy does not appear to change the actual terms of data collection, use, or protection. The addition of section headers and a table of contents improves document organization and accessibility. Existing privacy rights, disclosures, and obligations remain in place under the reorganized structure.

What changed Midjourney removed 7 sentences and structural elements from its Privacy Policy on April 21, 2026, including the introduction, sections on sharing personal data, security, children's privacy, links to other websites, and policy change procedures. The document now contains 127 sentences. The removed language appears to include core privacy disclosures and procedural safeguards that were previously indexed as separate policy sections.
Why this matters The updated privacy policy removed language describing how Midjourney shares personal data, the security measures protecting that data, children's privacy safeguards, procedures for notifying users of policy changes, and links to related policies. Users no longer have explicit disclosure of these practices within the privacy policy itself. The removal of language on how policy changes are communicated may mean users have less notice of future privacy modifications than previously stated.
