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)

1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Under CPRA amendments to the CCPA, inferences drawn from personal information to create a consumer profile are a defined category subject to specific consumer rights including deletion and opt-out of sharing. GDPR Article 22 and related recitals may also engage automated decision-making considerations depending on how inferences are operationalized. Enforcement authorities include the California Privacy Protection Agency and EU/UK data protection authorities. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The disclosure that inferences are both collected and shared with third parties triggers CPRA obligations around consumer profile data, including the right to opt out of sharing. The policy does not specify the mechanism by which inferences are generated or the third parties to whom they are disclosed, which may create gaps in required CCPA/CPRA disclosures. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California residents have heightened rights under CPRA regarding consumer profile inferences. EEA and UK users may have rights to object to processing of inferences under GDPR legitimate interests grounds. Illinois and New York may also have relevant consumer protection considerations depending on the nature of inferences drawn. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise procurement teams should confirm whether vendor agreements address the generation and disclosure of inferences derived from organizational user activity, particularly if Midjourney services are used in professional or employment contexts where behavioral profiling of employees could raise additional legal considerations. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should assess whether the policy's disclosure of inference collection and sharing satisfies CPRA's specific requirements for consumer profile data, whether a do-not-share mechanism covers this category operationally, and whether data subject rights requests for deletion extend to derived inferences stored separately from raw personal data.
