ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision directly engages the CCPA as amended by CPRA, specifically the do-not-sell and do-not-share rights. The California Privacy Protection Agency is the primary enforcement authority, with concurrent enforcement by the California Attorney General. CPRA's definition of sharing includes disclosure to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising, which the policy's reference to advertising cookies appears to acknowledge. The policy's disclosure that Midjourney does not sell data but may share it for advertising purposes is consistent with the CPRA distinction between sale and sharing. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The operational implementation of the do-not-share mechanism, including Global Privacy Control signal recognition, is required under CPRA regulations. The truncated document text prevents confirmation of the full opt-out mechanism described in the policy, creating uncertainty about whether the implementation details satisfy CPRA requirements. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: This provision applies specifically to California residents and individuals whose personal information was collected in California. Other states with comprehensive privacy laws (Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas) may have analogous opt-out rights that are not addressed in this policy section. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Advertising and analytics partners receiving data through cookie-based sharing must be assessed to confirm they qualify as service providers or contractors under CPRA rather than third parties to whom a sale or sharing has occurred, as this classification affects the opt-out mechanism required. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should confirm that the GPC signal is technically recognized and operationally implemented across Midjourney's web properties, that the opt-out mechanism is accessible and functional, and that advertising partners receiving data through cookies have executed appropriate service provider agreements. Teams should also assess whether the policy's opt-out disclosure covers all sharing that may qualify under CPRA's cross-context behavioral advertising definition.
