Summary

Figma's Terms of Service is the legal agreement that controls how you can use Figma's design tools, and it gives Figma a broad license to use your uploaded designs and content — including to train and improve its AI features. The single most important thing to know is that if you're a US user and have a dispute with Figma, you must resolve it through individual binding arbitration and cannot join a class action lawsuit, and Figma's maximum financial liability to you is capped at the fees you paid in the last 12 months or $100, whichever is greater. If you are in the EU, your contract is with Figma Ireland Limited and you have stronger data rights, but you should review your organization's data processing agreement with Figma separately.

Technical Summary

Figma's Terms of Service govern use of its design collaboration platform (figma.com and related services) on the basis of a binding contractual agreement formed upon account creation or service access, with Figma, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) as the contracting entity for most users and Figma Ireland Limited for EEA/UK users. The most significant obligations include: users granting Figma a broad, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, modify, and distribute user content; users indemnifying Figma against third-party claims arising from their content or conduct; and Figma reserving unilateral rights to modify, suspend, or terminate services with or without notice. Notably, the ToS includes a mandatory arbitration clause with class action waiver for US users, a limitation of liability capped at fees paid in the prior 12 months (or $100 if no fees paid), and a broad content license that expressly permits Figma to use user-submitted content to improve its products and services including AI/ML features. The document engages GDPR (for EEA users processed under Figma Ireland Limited), CCPA (for California residents with explicit data rights references), and COPPA (minimum age 16 for EEA, 13 elsewhere), and implicates FTC Act Section 5 through its unfair/deceptive practices exposure; compliance teams should note that the dual-entity structure creates separate regulatory exposure under EU and US frameworks, and that the AI/ML content use provision may implicate the EU AI Act for EEA-based enterprise customers.

What changed Figma updated their Figma Terms of Service on March 31, 2026. Change detected: 2 sentence(s) removed, 2 sentence(s) modified. Document contained 192 sentences after update.
Consumer impact Figma removed the direct link to its Subprocessors page from its Terms of Service, making it harder for users and businesses to quickly identify which third-party vendors process their data. The Candidate Privacy Notice link was also removed, reducing visibility into how job applicant data is handled. You can still search Figma's Privacy & Trust Center directly to locate the Subprocessors list and other privacy resources.
Why it matters For businesses using Figma as a data processor, losing easy access to the Subprocessors list from the Terms of Service creates a compliance monitoring gap under GDPR Art. 28(2). Organizations must now proactively locate this information through alternate channels to maintain their vendor oversight obligations.
