Figma revised its children's privacy protections to restrict child access to educational contexts only and expanded the scope of child age definitions across jurisdictions. The updated policy now requires children to use the Services only through Figma for Education Enterprise agreements with their educational institution, and explicitly prohibits using children's personal information to train AI services, for marketing, or for third-party advertising. The policy also clarified that service providers offering AI services are prohibited from using data inputs or outputs to train or improve their models.

2 new obligations 1 obligation expanded

Schools and educational institutions: Schools cannot allow students to use Figma without a formal agreement in place.

Service providers offering AI services: AI service providers cannot use data that flows through Figma's AI features to improve their own AI models.

Figma (as data processor): Figma will not use children's data for AI training, marketing, or targeted advertising under any circumstances.

Parents: Parents now have a narrower right to contact Figma about unauthorized child data collection; the right applies only when no institutional agreement exists.

What this means for you

Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

The updated policy restricts children's access to Figma to educational contexts only, requiring an agreement between the school and Figma for any child to use the platform. The revised terms explicitly state that Figma does not use children's personal information to train AI services, for marketing purposes, or to enable third-party advertising tracking. Parents can contact Figma if a child provides personal information outside an educational agreement, though the policy now narrows this right to situations where no institutional agreement exists.

What you can do

→ If you are a parent or guardian, review Figma's Supplemental Privacy Policy for Children (Exhibit A) to understand how your child's data is processed.

→ If your child uses Figma outside of a school agreement, contact Figma at privacy@figma.com to report unauthorized data collection.

→ If you are an educational institution, verify that your Figma for Education Enterprise agreement is current and complies with the updated policy.

Restricts use of children's personal data for AI training and targeted advertising; requires educational institution agreements for child users
2026-10-11 · Impact summary edited · summary regenerated by summarize_events
Previous text
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.

Previous text
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.
