What it is

If Midjourney is sold, merged, or undergoes restructuring, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring company as part of that transaction.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes that personal data constitutes a transferable asset in corporate restructuring events. The authorization applies both during negotiation periods and upon transaction completion, meaning data recipients may change without separate user consent if a qualifying business event occurs.

Recent Activity

This document changed recently

High Apr 21, 2026

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.

— Excerpt from Midjourney's Midjourney Privacy Policy

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

The asset-transfer clause is broadly drafted and applies to mergers, acquisitions, financing events, and bankruptcy proceedings. Under GDPR, such transfers may require a lawful basis reassessment by the acquiring entity; under CCPA, users must be notified. Legal teams conducting M&A due diligence involving Midjourney should flag this clause as a material data asset disclosure obligation.
