Retention tied to use and purpose means personal information may be held indefinitely if disputes or other purposes persist, with no fixed deletion deadline.
Interpretive note: The excerpt was truncated and likely includes additional retention bases (e.g., legal obligations) that were not quoted in full. The canonical claim reflects only the language provided. The multiple listed purposes are closely linked but represent independent retention triggers; the primary one stated is fulfillment of collection purpose.
The updated terms establish specific restrictions on how Figma may use personal information collected from minors. Children under 13 in the US, under 16 in California and the EU, and under 18 in Japan may now use the Services only through agreements with educational institutions. Figma states it will not use children's personal information to train, fine-tune, or improve AI services, nor will it permit service providers to do so. The policy also prohibits using children's data for marketing purposes, targeted advertising, or enabling third-party tracking. If a parent learns their child provided personal information without consent outside an educational agreement, they may contact Figma to report the issue.
