Is Midjourney safe for business data?
Midjourney says its models are trained partly on data users provide through its service, its terms give it a broad license to what you upload, and your creations are public by default unless you pay for Stealth mode.
Training, plan by plan
- Used for training: All Midjourney plans: used, with no opt-out described.
What it does with your data
| Question | All Midjourney plans |
|---|---|
| Trains on your data by default? | Yes. Midjourney says its training data includes data users provide through the service, and its terms give it a lasting license to use what you put in and create. The pages we read describe no opt-out. Read on October 23, 2026 · source: docs.midjourney.com |
| How long chats are kept | As long as Midjourney needs it. Its privacy policy gives no fixed period, saying it keeps personal data as long as necessary for its stated purposes and legal obligations. Read on October 23, 2026 · source: docs.midjourney.com |
| Who can read them | Anyone, by default. Midjourney’s terms say your content is publicly viewable and remixable unless you use Stealth mode, which only Pro and Mega plans have. Creations in public Discord channels stay visible even then. Read on October 23, 2026 · source: docs.midjourney.com |
| Where data is stored | Wherever Midjourney and the companies that process data for it operate. The privacy policy names no country. Read on October 23, 2026 · source: docs.midjourney.com |
| How to delete | Start account deletion from the Manage Subscription page on midjourney.com. Your subscription is canceled at once, and data is permanently erased after a 7-day window. Trashing a single creation does not make it private. Read on October 23, 2026 · source: docs.midjourney.com |
How to turn training off
- Use a Pro or Mega plan and turn on Stealth mode before creating anything for work. Only these plans have it. Source: docs.midjourney.com
- Create on the Midjourney website or in private messages, not in public Discord channels, where creations stay visible even with Stealth mode. Source: docs.midjourney.com
- To delete your account and data, start from the Manage Subscription page on midjourney.com. You have 7 days to change your mind before data is erased. Source: docs.midjourney.com
Safer setup for a small team
Never upload customer photos, logos you do not own, or confidential images to Midjourney. If your team uses it, use a Pro or Mega plan with Stealth mode, and work outside public Discord channels.
Plan to approve: Not approved for customer or confidential images
Setting to check: Stealth mode on, Pro or Mega plan only
A line for your AI policy: Staff do not upload customer images, customer names, or confidential material to Midjourney. Any approved use is on a Pro or Mega plan with Stealth mode on.
Want this in your team’s AI policy? The SafeStart kit, a plain-English AI policy and training for small teams, is coming soon.
