Mistral AI vs Midjourney

The service says you can export your data from your account and delete your account at any time, with a Help Center procedure for deleting data and digital assets. That makes it easier to leave and take your data with you.

Paid subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel, so you need to actively manage billing to avoid unwanted charges. Failed payments can also lead to suspension or downgrade.

Mistral may use your input, output, and feedback to train its models in certain cases, including free subscriptions and feedback submissions. If you do not opt out where available, your prompts and outputs may help improve the model.

Mistral says you own your outputs, which is good if you want to reuse, publish, or commercialize what the model generates. It also says you retain ownership of your inputs.

Mistral says you can object to the use of your input and output data for model training from account settings. That gives users a meaningful control over one of the most sensitive uses of their content.

For EEA consumers, you can bring claims in the courts of your country of residence, and your home-country substantive law applies. That is more user-friendly than forcing a distant forum or foreign law.

Le Chat conversations stay until you delete them, API inputs and outputs may be kept for 30 days for abuse monitoring, and some records are retained much longer, including invoices for 10 years. That means a lot of data can persist after use.

Mistral reserves the right to monitor usage with automated tools and to remove or restrict data that violates its rules or creates risk. This can affect availability of your content or account if the service flags it.

You have a 14-day withdrawal right after subscribing, and Mistral says it will refund payments within 14 days after notice. This is a standard but important consumer protection for paid plans.

If you share a conversation link, anyone with the link can view it, and Mistral says it does not control who accesses it. This is not a hidden clause, but it is easy to overlook and has obvious privacy implications.

For certain U.S. residents, Mistral says it has not sold, shared, or used personal data for targeted advertising in the previous 12 months. That is a reassuring privacy statement, though it is limited to a defined period and jurisdiction.

Midjourney can use, modify, sublicense, and distribute your prompts and generated assets forever, even after you leave. That means your content may be reused for service, product, or downstream purposes without additional payment or permission.

Content you post is publicly viewable and remixable unless you use the limited Stealth feature. In shared spaces like Discord, other people can still see your creations regardless of Stealth.

Disputes must go to binding arbitration in Santa Clara County, and you waive the right to a jury trial. This can make it harder and more expensive to bring claims in court.

Midjourney can update the agreement and keep the service terms changing over time, with continued use treated as acceptance. If you disagree, your only real option is to stop using the service.

The company can suspend or ban access at any time and for any reason. That creates a significant account-risk if your work depends on continuous access.

Midjourney says it uses third-party processors and does not store your credit card information, only confirmation that payment was made. That reduces the amount of sensitive payment data kept directly by Midjourney.

Midjourney says it may use analytics and advertising partners and advertising cookies to deliver more relevant ads. Users can opt out of certain sharing in privacy settings, but the default collection/sharing posture is still fairly broad.

The service collects prompts, uploaded content, IP address, cookies, usage data, and contact details. For an AI tool, that means the things you type and upload may become part of the service’s retained personal data footprint.

Personal data is kept as long as needed for the stated purposes, legal compliance, disputes, and enforcement. In practice, that means information may linger well beyond account use if Midjourney decides it is needed for legal or policy reasons.

EEA, UK, Swiss, and California users have access, correction, deletion, portability, and some objection/opt-out rights. The practical upside is a usable account-based path to request account/data deletion.

The policy gives a concrete path to delete your account and data through the account page, and says survey data can also be accessed and deleted. That makes rights requests more actionable than vague contact-only promises.
