Data Retention

Medium severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

What it is

Figma retains your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

Why it matters

Figma does not commit to a specific deletion timeline, meaning your data could be retained indefinitely while your account is active and for an unspecified period after.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

Open-ended retention language may conflict with GDPR's data minimization and storage limitation principles (Articles 5(1)(c) and 5(1)(e)). Legal and compliance teams should negotiate specific retention schedules in data processing agreements for enterprise deployments.
