What it is

When you upload or create content on Figma, you give Figma a broad, worldwide license to use, host, reproduce, and display that content to provide and improve their services.

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

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

While you retain ownership of your designs, Figma can use your content in ways beyond just storing it — including to develop and improve their products.

Recent Activity

Medium Mar 31, 2026

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.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Figma's ToS grants the company a broad license to use your content to operate and improve their services, limits your ability to sue them in court through mandatory arbitration, and allows them to suspend or terminate your account at their discretion. Users should be aware that by continuing to use Figma, they agree to resolve disputes through binding arbitration and waive class action rights. You can opt out of the arbitration clause by sending written notice to Figma within 30 days of first accepting the Terms.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

The scope of the content license may create IP ownership ambiguity for enterprise clients and should be assessed in the context of client confidentiality obligations; GDPR Article 6 lawful basis considerations may also apply to processing of personal data embedded in user content.
