What it is

The agreement authorizes Figma to collect Usage Data including technical logs, metadata, telemetry data, and usage information about Customer Content, and to retain and use that data in de-identified and aggregated form both during and after the subscription term for product maintenance and improvement. Customer Content itself is explicitly excluded from the Usage Data definition.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision authorizes Figma's use of Usage Data to continue after the subscription term ends, with no stated expiration or deletion timeline for that data. The scope of Usage Data includes telemetry data and usage information about Customer Content (such as access frequency), which may require assessment under data minimization and purpose limitation requirements under applicable privacy frameworks.

Interpretive note: The adequacy of the de-identification standard applied to Usage Data is not specified in the Terms and would require review of the incorporated DPA and Privacy Policy to assess compliance with GDPR and CCPA de-identification requirements.
