Figma is not intended for children under 13, and the company says it does not knowingly collect personal data from children under that age. If you believe a child has provided personal information, you can report it to Figma.
This analysis describes what Figma's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
This provision establishes a minimum age for Figma use and engages COPPA compliance obligations in the US, though the policy relies on self-reporting and account holder representations rather than active age verification.
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.

"The Services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

(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.
