Recent Activity

Medium Mar 31, 2026

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.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages general contract law and, for EU/UK users, consumer protection frameworks that may require reasonable notice before service termination. The GDPR right to data portability may interact with this clause, as users have a right to receive their personal data in a portable format before or after account termination. CCPA provides similar data access and portability rights for California residents. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The 'without prior notice or liability' language is broad; for enterprise customers, sudden service termination could disrupt operations and may create liability under downstream client contracts. The clause does not specify data retention or export windows post-termination, which is operationally significant. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA and UK consumer users may have additional protections under local law that limit no-notice termination for non-material breaches. California and other states with strong consumer protection statutes may also interact with this provision. Enterprise customers in regulated industries should assess operational continuity implications. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise procurement teams should negotiate explicit data retention and export windows post-termination, and ensure business continuity provisions are addressed in supplemental agreements. This clause as drafted does not include a cure period before termination for alleged breaches, which deviates from practices more favorable to enterprise customers. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations should implement regular automated exports of Figma content and ensure data portability processes are in place. Legal teams should assess whether the no-notice termination clause is compatible with operational continuity obligations and, for EU users, with GDPR data portability requirements.
