— Excerpt from Figma's Figma Privacy Policy

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Business transfer provisions in privacy policies are common and generally permissible under US law, but GDPR requires that personal data transferred in a corporate transaction continue to be processed in accordance with the original purposes and legal bases, or that data subjects are informed of material changes. The FTC has addressed privacy policy representations in corporate transactions, including through enforcement actions requiring that acquirers honor prior privacy commitments. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. This is a standard clause in SaaS privacy policies, but the breadth of content data collected by Figma means that any corporate transaction could transfer significant volumes of proprietary user and organizational data to a new entity. Organizations with data sovereignty or confidentiality concerns should be aware of this provision. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users' data transferred in a corporate transaction must continue to be processed in compliance with GDPR and UK GDPR, including transfer mechanism requirements if the acquirer is located outside adequate jurisdictions. California users retain CCPA rights following a business transfer. Data Protection Authorities may require notification of significant data transfers in corporate transactions. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers should consider whether their data processing agreements with Figma include provisions governing data handling in corporate transactions, including the right to terminate and retrieve data if the acquirer does not meet contractual privacy standards. Change of control clauses in enterprise contracts should be reviewed. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should monitor Figma corporate transactions and assess whether any change of control triggers DPA review, renegotiation rights, or regulatory notification obligations. Internal procedures for assessing vendor corporate transactions and their privacy implications should be documented.
