Images you upload to Midjourney are classified as sensory data and are both collected and disclosed to third parties.
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 classification of uploaded images as sensory data establishes the legal category under which these materials are processed and governed within Midjourney's data handling procedures. This categorization determines which privacy obligations, retention policies, and disclosure rules apply to image content.
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.

"8 Sensory data. Audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory, or similar information. YES (only images you upload to our services) YES— Excerpt from Midjourney's Midjourney Privacy Policy
The CCPA disclosure table confirms sensory data (Category 8 — 'only images you upload') is both collected and disclosed. While Midjourney separately states it does not collect biometric information, uploaded images may contain biometric-adjacent content. CPRA-covered entities may need to assess whether image data constitutes sensitive personal information requiring enhanced protections. EU compliance teams should evaluate whether image uploads trigger GDPR Article 9 special category obligations.
