Summary

This is Figma's Privacy Policy, explaining what personal information Figma collects when you use its design tools — including your account details, usage behavior, design file content, communications, and device information — and how it uses and shares that data. The most important thing to know is that Figma may use the content of your designs and files to train and improve its AI features, which could affect the confidentiality of sensitive creative work you store on the platform. If you are a California resident, an EU/UK user, or a Canadian user, you can exercise specific rights including data deletion and objection to certain processing by contacting Figma at privacy@figma.com.

Technical Summary

This document is Figma's Privacy Policy governing the collection, use, disclosure, and retention of personal data by Figma, Inc. in connection with its design, prototyping, and collaboration platform services, relying on legal bases including consent, contractual necessity, and legitimate interests under applicable law. Figma's most significant obligations include providing data subject rights (access, deletion, portability, correction, objection) and disclosing data to a broad range of third-party service providers, advertising partners, analytics vendors, and business transaction counterparties. A notable provision permits Figma to use content submitted to its services — including designs, files, and user-generated content — to train and improve AI/ML features, which may not be apparent to enterprise customers and raises IP and confidentiality concerns beyond standard SaaS data practices. The policy engages GDPR (with Figma's Irish entity as EU data controller), CCPA/CPRA for California residents, UK GDPR, and Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA), with cross-border data transfer mechanisms including SCCs and DPF certification referenced. Material compliance considerations include the breadth of advertising and analytics data sharing, the AI training use of user content, and the requirement for enterprise customers to assess whether their employee and client data processed through Figma is adequately covered by their own DPAs with Figma.

What changed Figma updated their Figma Privacy Policy on March 31, 2026. Change detected: 2 sentence(s) removed, 4 sentence(s) modified. Document contained 330 sentences after update.
Consumer impact Figma has updated the contact email for privacy questions and data rights requests from support@figma.com to privacy@figma.com. For users in the UK and European Economic Area, the Data Protection Officer contact has also changed from an external law firm address (FigmaDPO@Fieldfisher.com) to the same in-house address (privacy@figma.com). If you have previously saved or bookmarked Figma's privacy contact details, you should update them to privacy@figma.com.
Why it matters The shift from an external law firm DPO contact to a generic internal email address may affect how EU and UK users can exercise GDPR data rights and reach a designated DPO, which is a regulated transparency requirement. Organizations relying on Figma's documented DPO contact for their own compliance records must update those records.
