Design files submitted to Figma's AI features may contain proprietary business information, client work, or sensitive intellectual property, and this clause authorizes Figma to use that material to improve its AI unless users take affirmative steps to opt out.
Interpretive note: The adequacy of the opt-out framing as a legal basis under GDPR, and whether free-plan users have any equivalent right, is not fully resolved by the document language and may depend on regulatory interpretation.
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.
