Data Processing Addendum

Last updated: March 30, 2026

This Data Protection Addendum (“Addendum”) forms part of the agreement(s) between Customer and Figma covering Customer’s use of the Figma Platform to which this Addendum is incorporated (“Agreement”) and governs Figma’s processing of Personal Data in Customer Content.

1. Processing of Personal Data.

1.1. Description of Processing Activities. Details about processing activities, such as categories of data subjects and Personal Data processed are found in Schedule 1 (Description of Processing).

1.2. Figma’s Role. As a Processor, Figma will process Personal Data contained in Customer Content (including Personal Data of Customer’s logged-in Authorized Users) only: (i) in accordance with documented Customer Instructions, or (ii) to comply with Figma’s obligations under applicable laws and regulations.

1.3. Compliance with Law. Figma and Customer will each comply with Data Protection Law. Customer is responsible for ensuring Customer Instructions comply with Data Protection Law. Figma will notify Customer if it determines that an instruction infringes Data Protection Law.

1.4. Confidentiality. Figma must ensure that persons authorized to process Customer Content are subject to written or statutory obligations of confidentiality.

2. Security and Security Incidents.

2.1. Security Measures. Figma has implemented and will maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect the security, confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Customer Content.

2.2 Security Incidents. Figma must notify Customer without undue delay and, where feasible, within 72 hours after becoming aware of a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Customer Content processed by Figma and/or its Sub-processors (“Security Incident”). Figma will use commercially reasonable efforts to investigate and identify the root cause of the Security Incident, and, to the extent within Figma's reasonable control, take reasonable and appropriate steps to mitigate and remediate the effects of the Security Incidents.

3. Sub-processors.

3.1 General Authorization. Customer generally authorizes Figma to engage third-party service providers to process Customer Content (each, a “Sub-processor”). Customer further agrees that Figma may engage its affiliates as Sub-processors.

3.2. Written Agreement. Figma will: (i) enter into written agreements with each Sub-processor that impose data protection obligations consistent with this Addendum; and (ii) remain liable to Customer where a Sub-processor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations.

3.3. Sub-processor List. Figma maintains an up-to-date list of Sub-processors, available at https://fig.px4.zidev.ir/sub-processors which contains details about Sub-processor functions, the location of processing, and a mechanism for Customers to subscribe to notification of new Sub-processors or replacement of existing Sub-processors.

3.4. Notification of Changes. At least fifteen (15) days before a new Sub-processor begins processing Customer Content, Figma will add the Sub-processor to its sub-processor list and, if Customer has subscribed to notifications, provide Customer with written notice (“Sub-processor Notice Period”).

3.5. Objections to Sub-processors. Customers may object to Figma’s appointment of a new Sub-processor during the Sub-processor Notice Period, provided such objection is in writing and based on reasonable grounds relating to data protection. In such an event, Figma and Customer agree to discuss commercially reasonable alternative solutions in good faith. If Figma and Customer cannot reach a resolution within the Sub-processor Notice Period, Figma may proceed with the appointment of the Sub-processor and Customer, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may terminate the applicable Order for the affected services by providing written notice to Figma.

4. Assistance and Cooperation.

4.1. Data Subject Rights. Taking into account the nature of the processing, Figma will provide reasonable and timely assistance to Customer to enable Customer to respond to requests from individuals exercising their rights, provided that Customer cannot reasonably fulfill such requests independently by using the self-service functionality of the Figm Platform.

4.2. Impact Assessments and Consultations. Taking into account the nature of the processing, Figma will provide reasonable assistance to Customer in connection with any data protection impact assessment or consultation with any regulatory authority that may be required under Data Protection Law.

4.3. Government and Other Third-Party Requests for Customer Personal Data. If Figma receives a request from a third party, including a legally binding request from a governmental authority or law enforcement agency, for disclosure of Personal Data contained in Customer Content, Figma will (i) promptly notify Customer unless legally prohibited from doing so; (ii) where permitted, refer the requesting party to Customer; (iii) use reasonable efforts to challenge any request that is unlawful, disproportionate, or overbroad; and (iv) not disclose Personal Data contained in Customer Content unless required to do so by law.

5. Deletion and Return of Customer Personal Data. At the end of providing the Figma Platform to Customer, Figma will, as directed by Customer and at Customer’s option, delete or return all Customer Content within thirty (30) days. Figma may retain Customer Content only to the extent required by Data Protection Law, subject to the confidentiality and processing restrictions in this Addendum.

6. Audit.

6.1. Audit Reports. Figma uses independent third-party auditors to verify the adequacy of its technical and organizational measures. Audits are performed at least once per calendar year at Figma’s expense. Upon Customer's written request at reasonable intervals, and subject to appropriate confidentiality controls, Figma will make available information, including summaries of its then-current third-party certifications and audit reports, so Customer can verify Figma’s compliance with its data protection obligations in this Addendum.

6.2. Audit Right. Only to the extent Customer’s audit requirements under Data Protection Law cannot reasonably be satisfied through information provided in Section 6.1 (Audit Reports), Customer (or its appointed representative) may, at customer’s expense, conduct an audit to assess Figma’s compliance with this Addendum. Any audit must be: (i) subject to reasonable confidentiality controls; (ii) conducted during Figma’s regular business hours; (iii) with 45 days’ advance written notice; (iv) limited to once per year (unless required by a regulator or government authority); and (v) carried out in a manner that prevents unnecessary disruption to Figma’s operations.
