(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the US, which restricts online collection of personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. The FTC is the primary COPPA enforcement authority. In the EU, GDPR Article 8 sets age thresholds for consent (typically 16, or 13-16 depending on member state). UK GDPR and the Age Appropriate Design Code (Children's Code) impose additional obligations for services likely to be accessed by minors. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Figma's age restriction relies primarily on user self-representation and reactive deletion rather than proactive age verification. If the service is used in educational or youth contexts, this creates COPPA and GDPR compliance exposure. The absence of described active age verification mechanisms is a governance consideration. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: US education and youth-focused deployments face heightened COPPA exposure. EU member states with lower GDPR consent age thresholds (some set at 13) should be assessed. UK deployments should evaluate compliance with the ICO's Children's Code. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Schools and educational institutions using Figma should assess whether their use constitutes collection of student personal information subject to FERPA and COPPA, and whether Figma's terms and data practices satisfy applicable obligations. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations deploying Figma in educational or youth-accessible contexts should conduct a COPPA/GDPR age data review, confirm that appropriate consent mechanisms are in place, and assess whether Figma's DPA addresses minor user data adequately.
