Summary

This is Figma's Terms of Service, which sets the rules for using Figma's design tools, websites, and related services. The most important thing to know is that by using Figma, you grant the company a broad license to use content you upload or create on the platform, and you waive your right to sue Figma in court or join a class action lawsuit, instead agreeing to resolve disputes through binding individual arbitration. If you are a business or enterprise customer, review whether a separate data processing agreement applies, and be aware that Figma can change these terms with notice.

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.

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.
