What it is

Figma shares your personal data with a range of outside companies including payment processors, analytics firms, and advertising partners to support its business operations.

This analysis describes what Figma's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The breadth of third-party sharing, including with advertising partners, means your usage data and potentially other personal information may flow to companies outside Figma's direct control, with implications for targeted advertising and data aggregation.

Interpretive note: The policy does not enumerate specific advertising or analytics partners, making it difficult to assess the full scope of sharing in practice; actual data flows may be broader or narrower than the general disclosure suggests.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Your behavioral and usage data on Figma may be shared with advertising and analytics companies, which could result in targeted advertising based on your Figma activity. Users who prefer to limit this sharing can explore opt-out options through Figma's cookie and privacy 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.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Sharing personal data with advertising partners engages GDPR's requirements for lawful transfer mechanisms and data processing agreements under Article 28, as well as CCPA's restrictions on sharing personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising. The FTC Act prohibits unfair or deceptive practices, and representations about third-party data sharing scope are within FTC enforcement scope. State privacy laws in Virginia, Colorado, and Connecticut may also apply depending on user location. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The policy discloses sharing with advertising partners but does not enumerate specific partners or categories of data shared with each. This lack of specificity makes it difficult for compliance teams to conduct precise data mapping or to assess whether sharing practices are consistent with stated purposes. GDPR's accountability principle may require more granular documentation internally even if not publicly disclosed. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California residents have explicit CCPA rights to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information with advertising partners. EU and UK users benefit from GDPR restrictions requiring that such sharing be supported by a valid legal basis and data processing agreements. US states with comprehensive privacy laws enacted after CCPA may impose similar opt-out rights. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: B2B customers should confirm whether Figma's data processing agreements cover the full scope of third-party sub-processors used for advertising and analytics purposes, and whether sub-processor lists are maintained and updated as required under GDPR. Organizations with restrictions on data sharing in their own customer contracts should assess whether Figma's sharing practices create downstream compliance risks. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should request and review Figma's sub-processor list and assess whether standard contractual clauses or other transfer mechanisms are in place for all advertising and analytics partners that may receive EU or UK personal data. Cookie consent mechanisms should be audited to ensure that advertising-related tracking is only activated upon valid consent.
