California residents have the right to opt out of Midjourney sharing their personal information with third parties through advertising cookies, even though Midjourney says it does not 'sell' data in the traditional sense.

The clause establishes the operational scope of data sharing practices and designates the mechanism through which users can modify those practices. It clarifies that sharing for advertising purposes is authorized under the terms unless the user exercises the opt-out function.
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.

"You have the right to opt-out of any "sale" or "sharing", as defined by the CCPA, of Personal Information by Midjourney. While, Midjourney does not sell your information, we may share it, for example, through advertising cookies that allow our third party partners to deliver relevant and personalized ads. You can opt-out of such sharing at any time by updating your preferences in the Privacy Settings page.— Excerpt from Midjourney's Midjourney Privacy Policy
Midjourney's acknowledgment that advertising cookie sharing may constitute CCPA 'sharing' triggers mandatory opt-out infrastructure requirements under CPRA. Compliance teams should verify that the opt-out mechanism is clearly accessible, functional, and honored within the 15-business-day timeframe required by CCPA regulations. The CCPA table also discloses collection and disclosure of inferences and protected classification characteristics, both of which are sensitive categories under CPRA.
