Figma's services are not directed at children under the age of 16, and Figma states it does not knowingly collect personal data from users under 16.
If a minor under 16 uses Figma, their data may be collected without the legally required parental consent protections, creating both privacy and regulatory risk.
Figma's 16+ threshold aligns with GDPR Article 8 (EU) but exceeds COPPA's 13-year threshold in the US. Educational institutions deploying Figma should verify compliance with FERPA and COPPA if students under 16 may use the platform, and should obtain appropriate data processing agreements.
