Midjourney states it will notify users and provide a copy of any law enforcement request for their personal data, unless legally prohibited from doing so, such as by a court-issued gag order.
This analysis describes what Midjourney's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The commitment to notify users of law enforcement data requests, where legally permitted, is a materially distinct disclosure practice that may provide users with an opportunity to seek legal counsel before data is disclosed.
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.

"With Law Enforcement: Under certain circumstances, Midjourney may be required to disclose Your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court or a government agency). To the extent we receive a request from Law Enforcement for Your personal data, we will promptly notify You and provide You with a copy of the request, unless we are legally prohibited from doing so.— Excerpt from Midjourney's Midjourney Privacy Policy
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Law enforcement data disclosure practices engage the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Stored Communications Act, and applicable court order and subpoena procedures. The policy's notification commitment is subject to override by legal process including grand jury subpoenas and national security letters that may carry mandatory non-disclosure provisions. Relevant authorities include federal law enforcement agencies and courts. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. The notification commitment is a user-protective provision but is conditioned on the absence of legal prohibition. The operational exposure for Midjourney relates to implementing a legally compliant notification process that does not violate applicable non-disclosure obligations. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: US federal legal process (including national security letters and FISA orders) can override notification commitments without the company being able to disclose the override. Non-US law enforcement requests may engage different legal frameworks. EEA users should note that EU law enforcement cooperation mechanisms may apply separately. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers should assess whether Midjourney's law enforcement notification commitment covers data submitted by organizational users, and whether it aligns with internal incident response and legal hold procedures. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should evaluate whether Midjourney has a documented law enforcement response policy that operationalizes this notification commitment, and whether the policy adequately accounts for mandatory non-disclosure scenarios without creating user-facing ambiguity about the conditions under which notification may not occur.
