Figma updated its Privacy Policy effective May 27, 2026 to expand and clarify rules governing how children's personal information is collected and used. The updated policy restricts how children's data can be used with AI services, advertising, and tracking, specifies that children may only use Figma through educational institution agreements, broadens the definition of 'child' to include ages up to 16 in California and the EU and 18 in Japan, and consolidates data protection officer contact information. The practical effect is that children using Figma outside of educational agreements, or whose parents believe they have been added without consent, now have clearer notification procedures and stronger stated protections around AI training and marketing uses.
Parents: You can contact Figma if your child provided personal information without your permission outside of a school agreement.
Schools: Schools must have a contract with Figma in order for their students to use the service.
Consumers: Children's data will not be used to improve Figma's AI tools or other companies' AI services.
Consumers: Children will not see targeted ads or have their data shared with ad partners on Figma.
Service providers: Companies providing AI services to Figma cannot use the data they process for children to improve their own AI models.
Consumers: More young people now receive the stronger privacy protections, depending on where they live.
Consumers: Children no longer have the option to use Figma outside of a school agreement; they must use it through their school.
The updated terms establish specific restrictions on how Figma may use personal information collected from minors. Children under 13 in the US, under 16 in California and the EU, and under 18 in Japan may now use the Services only through agreements with educational institutions. Figma states it will not use children's personal information to train, fine-tune, or improve AI services, nor will it permit service providers to do so. The policy also prohibits using children's data for marketing purposes, targeted advertising, or enabling third-party tracking. If a parent learns their child provided personal information without consent outside an educational agreement, they may contact Figma to report the issue.
→ Parents who believe their child has accessed Figma without authorization or consent should contact privacy@figma.com to report the issue.
→ Schools considering or currently using Figma should verify they have executed a Figma for Education Enterprise agreement covering their student users.
Figma and its service providers are prohibited from using personal information collected from children to train, fine-tune, or improve AI services, including large language models.
Children may only use Figma through a Figma for Education Enterprise agreement entered into with their educational institution; prior language permitting use 'in some cases' has been removed.
Definition of 'child' now explicitly includes minors up to age 16 in California and the EU, and up to age 18 in Japan, in addition to age 13 in the US.
