You must be at least 13 years old to use Figma (or 16 years old if you are in the European Economic Area), and Figma does not knowingly collect personal information from children below these thresholds.

The clause creates a contractual eligibility gate that conditions service availability on legal capacity to contract, while establishing a separate age threshold for AI-specific functionality. This reflects regulatory compliance obligations under consumer protection frameworks in relevant jurisdictions.
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.

"Customer may only use the Services if Customer is of legal age to enter into these Terms according to the applicable laws and regulations in Customer's jurisdiction (and, in the case of Figma AI, only if 18 years old or older).— Excerpt from Figma's Figma Terms of Service
1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision directly implicates COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. §§6501-6506; 16 CFR Part 312), enforced by the FTC, which prohibits collection of personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. GDPR Art. 8 requires member states to set a minimum age of 13-16 for consent to data processing for information society services; Figma sets this at 16 for EEA users, consistent with the GDPR maximum. The UK Children's Code (Age Appropriate Design Code) may impose additional design-by-default protections for platforms accessible to users under 18 in the UK. 2)
