What this means for you

Figma made three new policy documents available through its Terms of Service: a Candidate Privacy Notice that explains how candidate data is handled, a Data Processing Addendum that governs how data is processed, and a public list of Figma Subprocessors. The updated terms do not change existing service requirements or user obligations, but do provide more detailed disclosure of privacy practices and vendor relationships. Users can review these documents by following the links in the updated footer.

What you can do

Review the Candidate Privacy Notice if you are applying for a role at Figma or its partners

If you use Figma for business purposes in regulated industries, request your Data Processing Officer or compliance team review the Data Processing Addendum and Subprocessors list

Key Clauses Affected
