Who controls it
US corporate controlYes — a US parent or US contracting entity is on the public record
Contracting entityFigma, Inc. — a single US contracting entity worldwide, under BOTH the Software Services Agreement (Organization and Enterprise plans) and the Terms of Service (Starter and Professional plans). There is no Figma Ireland Limited or other non-US contracting entity in either document.
Governing lawSSA (Organization/Enterprise), section 9.9, keyed to the customer's principal place of business: Any country in Europe (including the United Kingdom & Northern Ireland), the Middle East, or Africa — governing law England & Wales, venue courts in London, England; Any country other than those identified above — governing law "California and controlling United States federal law", venue state and United States federal courts located in San Francisco, California. ToS (Starter/Professional), section 9.10: laws of the State of California with no region split, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs provisions relating to arbitration.
Trains on your dataYes, unless you opt out — on the vendor's default plan
On a paid or enterprise planDoes not train on your data — no retention position stated

Applies to: Organization, Enterprise (training off). Contrast: Starter and Professional (training on by default, admin can toggle off). Figma for Education and Figma for Government also excluded.

From the AI FAQ: “By default, content training is turned off on Organization and Enterprise plans.” help.figma.com ↗

Training and retention posture varies by plan. The default-plan row above describes the vendor’s free or standard tier; the paid-plan row is quoted from the document linked beside it. A negotiated contract can override either. Check your own agreement before relying on this.

This is a separate question from the grade above. The grade measures resilience — whether the tool endures and whether you could leave it. This describes who controls the vendor. A tool can score modestly on one and strongly on the other, and many do.

On U.S. CLOUD Act reach specifically: the statute reaches a provider subject to U.S. jurisdiction over data in its possession, custody or control. Corporate control is a strong indicator of that and it is what we can evidence from published documents — but it is not the whole test. A company founded outside the U.S. can still contract through a U.S. entity or run substantial U.S. operations. Treat this as a starting point for your own review, not a legal determination, and take advice on anything that matters.

Who else handles your data

Figma AI publishes a list of the other companies it uses to process customer data. It names 44 of them in 48 entries, because some appear more than once under different locations, each shown below with the location the vendor lists it under, in the vendor’s own words.

Figma AI marks some of those entries and qualifies them below the table. Its words, kept with the entries because the qualification is part of the answer:

* Where necessary to improve latency and Service reliability, requests may be routed through global data centers. When this happens, any data processed from that location is processed exclusively in volatile memory during the active request and the cache is automatically cleared within two hours.

Taken together those entries name at least Belgium, Canada, EU, Germany, Indonesia, Israel, Malaysia, Netherlands, Philippines, Singapore, Spain, United Kingdom, United States. That is what our place list could match in the vendor’s own words above, so treat it as a floor rather than the whole of it — the entries themselves are the record.

These are other companies, not Figma AI. Where a sub-processor is listed as operating is a fact about that company. It is not a statement about where Figma AI keeps your data, which Vannus publishes separately and only from a document in which the vendor says so.

The same document also lists 15 companies in Figma AI’s own corporate group. Those are the vendor itself rather than onward processors, so they are not among the entries above and are not counted in them.

Read from figma.com on 2026-09-17. Every entry above is a verbatim span of that page.

This is the vendor’s own disclosure, reproduced. Vannus has not audited what any of these companies do with your data, and a list can change without notice. Treat it as a starting point for your own review, not a legal determination, and take advice on anything that matters.

How this grade is set

Vannus publishes a nine-dimension trust framework — data sovereignty, training privacy, compliance posture, operational resilience, exit portability, and more. The heaviest criterion asks whether the tool builds its own AI or resells someone else's model; where the vendor discloses it, the grade cites the vendor's own documentation. No paid placements — scoring is walled off from affiliate revenue. See the methodology →
