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.

"Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us. If We become aware that We have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, We take steps to remove that information from Our servers.— Excerpt from Midjourney's Midjourney Privacy Policy
Midjourney's COPPA compliance mechanism relies on post-hoc removal of data discovered to have been collected from users under 13, rather than proactive age verification. This reactive approach may present regulatory exposure under COPPA and the FTC's enforcement framework, particularly given the generative AI context where minors may access the platform via Discord.
