Summary

Figma's Terms of Service establish the conditions for accessing and using Figma's design platform, websites, and related services. The agreement grants Figma a license to use, reproduce, modify, and distribute content uploaded or created by users to operate, maintain, and improve the platform. The terms require dispute resolution through binding individual arbitration and prohibit class action litigation, and permit Figma to modify these terms with notice to users.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is Figma's Terms of Service, governing use of Figma's websites, applications, and services on a contract basis between Figma, Inc. and users or the organizations they represent. The agreement states that users retain ownership of their content but grant Figma a broad, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and display that content to operate and improve the services; the terms also authorize Figma to suspend or terminate accounts for violations without prior notice, and establish that users are responsible for all activity under their accounts. Notably, the agreement includes a mandatory arbitration clause with a class action waiver, limiting users to individual arbitration rather than court proceedings or collective legal action, which represents a significant restriction on legal recourse commonly observed in SaaS terms but material for users to understand; the agreement also asserts a unilateral right to modify terms with notice by email or in-product notification, placing the burden on users to monitor for changes. The agreement engages GDPR and CCPA frameworks given Figma's global user base and its collection of account, usage, and content data; EU and UK users should note that certain arbitration and class action waiver provisions may be unenforceable under applicable consumer protection law in those jurisdictions. Business customers using Figma under a separate enterprise agreement should evaluate how these base terms interact with any supplemental data processing addenda or master service agreements.

2 important changes detected

3 versions captured · Last updated: March 2026

What changed Figma removed links to two privacy-related resources from its Terms of Service footer on March 31, 2026: the 'Candidate Privacy Notice' link and the 'Figma Subprocessors' list. At the same time, Figma added links to trademark and intellectual property policies. This means users can no longer quickly access Figma's subprocessor list directly from the Terms of Service, though these resources may remain available elsewhere on Figma's website.
Why this matters 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.

What changed Figma updated its Terms of Service footer on March 19, 2026 to add links to two new policy documents: a Candidate Privacy Notice and a Data Processing Addendum. The updated terms also reorganized existing policy links and added a link to a Figma Subprocessors page. These changes expand the policy documentation users can access but do not modify the substantive terms of service itself.
Why this matters Figma made three new policy documents available through its Terms of Service: a Candidate Privacy Notice that explains how candidate data is handled, a Data Processing Addendum that governs how data is processed, and a public list of Figma Subprocessors. The updated terms do not change existing service requirements or user obligations, but do provide more detailed disclosure of privacy practices and vendor relationships. Users can review these documents by following the links in the updated footer.
