This provision establishes that Community marketplace transactions trigger disclosure of user personal information to individual third-party creators who operate under their own independent privacy policies, creating a data governance gap that Figma does not contractually bridge for users.
Interpretive note: The phrase 'any other information reasonably related to the transaction' is not defined in the policy, creating ambiguity about the full scope of personal information disclosed to Community creators.
The updated terms now restrict how Figma may use personal information from children. Children may only use the Services through a Figma for Education Enterprise agreement with their school, and Figma explicitly prohibits using children's personal information to train or improve AI services, serve targeted advertisements, or enable third-party tracking. Parents may contact Figma if they learn a child provided personal information without consent outside of an education agreement.

"If you acquire any resources from third-party creators on Figma Community (available at www.figma.com/community), in connection with the transaction we will disclose your relevant personal information to such creators, including your name and any other information reasonably related to the transaction. Any other information shared between you and the creator (if any) is governed by the creator's privacy policy.Excerpt from Figma's Privacy Policy (Superseded URL)
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision implicates GDPR transparency requirements, as the transfer of user personal information to independent third-party creators who operate under their own privacy policies constitutes a data controller-to-controller transfer that requires adequate disclosure. CCPA notice requirements are also engaged regarding the categories of third parties to whom personal information is disclosed. The FTC's framework for unfair or deceptive practices applies to the adequacy of this disclosure. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. The policy discloses that transaction data is shared with creators but does not specify what 'any other information reasonably related to the transaction' encompasses, creating interpretive uncertainty about the scope of disclosed data. The absence of any Figma oversight of creator privacy practices means users bear direct exposure to creator data handling without Figma-imposed safeguards. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users have heightened exposure as GDPR requires that data transfers to independent third-party controllers be adequately disclosed and that users are informed of the receiving party's identity and processing purposes. California users retain CCPA rights over their personal information disclosed to creators. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers whose employees use Figma Community to acquire design resources should assess whether employee personal information disclosed to creators is consistent with their internal data governance policies. There are no Figma-imposed contractual safeguards governing creator data handling disclosed in this policy. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Users and compliance teams should review the privacy policy of any creator from whom Community resources are acquired, as Figma explicitly disclaims responsibility for creator privacy practices. The phrase 'any other information reasonably related to the transaction' should be interpreted conservatively until clarified by Figma, as its scope is not defined in the policy.
