The removal of the Subprocessors list link makes it less convenient for users, particularly enterprise and EU-based customers who rely on this information for data protection compliance, to verify which third parties Figma engages to process their data. While the subprocessor information may still exist on Figma's website, removing the direct link from the Terms of Service reduces accessibility and transparency. Enterprise customers and those subject to GDPR may need to contact Figma directly to access current subprocessor information.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Figma's ToS grants the company a broad license to use your content to operate and improve their services, limits your ability to sue them in court through mandatory arbitration, and allows them to suspend or terminate your account at their discretion. Users should be aware that by continuing to use Figma, they agree to resolve disputes through binding arbitration and waive class action rights. You can opt out of the arbitration clause by sending written notice to Figma within 30 days of first accepting the Terms.
