Unilateral Termination and Suspension

Why it matters

Figma can cut off your access to your design work — potentially years of files stored only on their platform — without advance warning, leaving you unable to retrieve your work if the termination is unexpected.

Consumer impact

Figma's ToS grants the company a broad license to use your uploaded design content, including for improving AI and machine learning features, which means your creative work may be used beyond what you intended when sharing it on the platform. US-based users lose the right to participate in class action lawsuits against Figma and must resolve disputes through individual binding arbitration, significantly limiting legal recourse. You can review and adjust your team or organization's content sharing settings within Figma's account dashboard, and EU/UK users should request a Data Processing Agreement from Figma to ensure GDPR-compliant handling of personal data.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Export Your Data
    Regularly export your Figma project files by opening each project, selecting File > Export, and saving copies locally or to an independent cloud storage service to protect against unexpected account suspension.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC can investigate arbitrary or discriminatory account termination practices as unfair or deceptive acts under Section 5 of the FTC Act.
