— Excerpt from Midjourney's Midjourney Privacy Policy

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Law enforcement disclosure provisions must comply with applicable legal standards including the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) for US users, and GDPR Article 6(1)(c) for EU and UK users where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation. The phrase 'lawful requests by public authorities to meet national security requirements' in US contexts may implicate national security letter processes under the USA PATRIOT Act and FISA. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The clause's inclusion of discretionary disclosures based on Midjourney's belief that disclosure is appropriate, rather than limiting disclosure to legally compelled situations, is broader than a strictly legal-compulsion-only standard. This is common in US-based service provider policies but warrants attention for enterprise users and EU users. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users should note that GDPR imposes constraints on transfers of personal data to third-country authorities, and disclosures to US law enforcement in response to US legal process may not automatically satisfy EU legal transfer requirements. The policy does not describe any transparency reporting mechanism for government disclosure requests. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations using Midjourney for business purposes should assess whether employee data or proprietary prompts could be subject to disclosure and whether their own legal obligations require notification in the event of such disclosure. The clause does not commit Midjourney to notifying users prior to disclosure where legally permitted to do so. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether Midjourney publishes a transparency report on government data requests, and whether the absence of such reporting is material to their risk assessment. EU clients should evaluate whether the law enforcement disclosure clause is compatible with their GDPR transfer risk assessments.
