Canva replaced its direct email contact address (privacy@canva.com) with a web-based contact form throughout its Privacy Policy. In an update detected on August 26, 2026, the policy no longer directs users to email privacy@canva.com for data access requests, opt-outs, consent withdrawal, child data concerns, or other privacy-related inquiries. Instead, users are directed to 'contact us here' via a hyperlink to a web form. The practical effect is that all privacy requests now route through a centralized web interface rather than direct email.

What this means for you

The updated policy removes the direct email address privacy@canva.com and consolidates all privacy requests—including data access, deletion, opt-outs, and consent withdrawal—through a web-based contact form. The substantive privacy rights and processes remain unchanged; only the submission method has shifted from email to an online form. Users seeking to exercise data rights, opt out of third-party data collection, or report concerns about child data can still do so by contacting Canva through the online form.

What you can do

Use the web-based contact form (accessible via 'contact us here' links) to request data access, deletion, or opt-out instead of emailing privacy@canva.com
