The provision operationalizes Figma's data handling framework by establishing U.S. law as the governing framework and authorizing international data transfers. This determines the legal regime applicable to data management and defines the jurisdictional scope within which data protection obligations operate.
Users who access the service operate under terms that authorize Figma to process and store their data outside their home jurisdiction, with legal protections determined by U.S. law rather than potentially more restrictive local data protection standards. The provision conditions service access on acceptance of this cross-border data transfer model.
