ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes a default-on data sharing configuration for education accounts that discloses student or staff identifying information across an organization without requiring affirmative action to enable the feature, which may engage FERPA and state student privacy obligations for U.S. educational institutions.

Recent Activity

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.
