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.
