Data Retention Policy

Why it matters

The absence of specific retention periods means Figma may retain your personal data indefinitely while your account exists, and it is not entirely clear when data will be deleted after account closure.

Consumer impact

Figma collects a wide range of personal and behavioral data including account information, design file content, usage patterns, device identifiers, and communications, and shares this with advertising partners, analytics providers, and potential business acquirers. A particularly significant impact is Figma's ability to use content you upload — including design files — to develop and improve AI and machine learning features, which may affect users who store proprietary or sensitive creative work on the platform. You can request deletion of your personal data, object to certain processing, or download your data by contacting Figma at privacy@figma.com or through your account settings.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Close Your Account
    To request account deletion and associated data erasure, email privacy@figma.com with your account details and a clear deletion request. You may also be able to initiate account deletion through your Figma account settings.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC has authority to act against companies that fail to honor stated data retention and deletion commitments, which can constitute unfair or deceptive practices under FTC Act Section 5.
