You are fully responsible for everything that happens under your Figma account, including activity by anyone who gains access to your login credentials.
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
If someone else gains access to your account, you may be held responsible for their actions, including any content they upload or violations of the terms they commit.
Even if your account is accessed without your knowledge, you bear full responsibility for all activity under it; protecting your login credentials and notifying Figma promptly of unauthorized access is therefore important to limit your exposure.
How other platforms handle this
If we learn that we've collected the personal data of a child under the age of 13 or 16, as applicable, we'll take reasonable steps to delete the personal data. This may require us to delete the Skillshare account...
If our moderators decide to remove content, or suspend or terminate the Member's account, we will notify the Member and explain how to contact us.
If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal data without parental consent, we remove such data and terminate the child's account (except where we are required to retain all or a portion of such data for compliance purposes).

"You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify Figma immediately of any unauthorized use, or suspected unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security.Excerpt from Figma's Terms of Service (Superseded URL)
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: User responsibility for account activity is standard in SaaS agreements. However, where unauthorized access involves personal data, GDPR and CCPA may impose obligations on Figma (as data controller or processor) to notify affected users and authorities of data breaches, irrespective of where fault lies. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. This is a standard account security clause. The primary risk for users is that full responsibility is assigned to the account holder regardless of circumstances, which could be onerous in enterprise settings where multiple employees share access to a team account. JURISDICTION FLAGS: GDPR Article 33 and CCPA impose breach notification obligations on Figma regardless of this clause. EU users retain rights to compensation for data breaches caused by Figma's own security failures, which this clause cannot override. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers should implement access controls and multi-factor authentication for Figma accounts to limit exposure under this clause. Vendor assessments should confirm Figma's security certifications and breach notification practices. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations using Figma in team settings should establish internal access management policies to ensure that account responsibility is clearly allocated among employees and that security incidents are reported promptly to both Figma and internal security teams.
