What it is

The agreement authorizes Figma to collect technical logs, metadata, telemetry data, and usage information about Customer Content (such as access frequency) during and after the subscription term, and to use this data in de-identified and aggregated form to maintain and improve Figma's products. Customer Content itself is expressly excluded from the definition of Usage Data.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision authorizes ongoing collection and use of Usage Data both during and after the subscription term without a defined retention limit, and the post-termination data use right means that de-identified and aggregated behavioral data derived from Customer activity may be retained and used indefinitely after the account relationship ends.

Interpretive note: The document does not specify the technical standard applied to de-identification, and whether the de-identified data qualifies as outside the scope of GDPR or CCPA depends on the robustness of the anonymization methodology, which is not disclosed in this document.

Recent Activity

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.
