Notion vs Figma

Notion says its disclosures to advertising partners may count as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under applicable law. In practice, your identifiers, usage data, location, and inferences may be used for targeted advertising unless you opt out.

Notion and its partners may connect your activity across websites, devices, or apps. That can make profiling and ad targeting more comprehensive than single-device tracking.

If you use an employer-provisioned email or join an org workspace, Notion may share profile details and potentially workspace content with that organization. That matters if you expect a personally controlled account while using a work email.

Depending on where you live, Notion offers rights to access, correct, delete, restrict processing, object, and in some cases transfer your data. These are meaningful user protections when available.

Notion provides unsubscribe tools, cookie settings, a "Do Not Sell or Share My Info" link, and says it recognizes legally recognized browser opt-out signals like Global Privacy Control where required. That makes privacy choices easier to exercise.

The policy permits collection of device IDs, IP, browser data, usage patterns, cookies, and inferred location, plus data from third parties and integrations. This is a fairly expansive analytics and marketing data footprint for a productivity service.

Notion keeps data for as long as you use the service and as needed for disputes, audits, legal defenses, business purposes, and enforcement. The policy does not provide firm deletion timelines, so information may persist after you stop active use.

Your data may be transferred or sold as part of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other asset deal. Users generally do not get an individualized choice about such transfers.

The provided terms page is only a legal-document index, not the actual service contract. Important issues such as arbitration, class-action waiver, liability caps, refunds, and termination rules cannot be verified from this record.

Notion says payment information is stored and processed by third-party payment providers rather than directly on Notion’s services. That can reduce the amount of sensitive payment data Notion itself holds.

Most disputes must go to binding arbitration instead of court unless you opt out within 30 days. This also waives jury trial and usually makes claims harder to pursue publicly.

Users must pursue claims only on an individual basis, not as part of a class or representative action. That can reduce leverage for smaller-value disputes.

Paid subscriptions and AI credit subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled before the term ends, and fees are generally nonrefundable. Users need to monitor renewals and seat counts closely.

If something goes wrong, Figma sharply limits what users can recover, generally to indirect damages excluded and total damages capped at $100 or 12 months of fees. This can leave users undercompensated after outages or losses.

Figma says customers retain all rights in their uploaded and created content. Its rights to use that content are framed as being for operating, securing, and improving the service rather than taking ownership.

The terms limit Figma’s use of customer content to providing and maintaining the service, including security and debugging. That is more user-protective than a broad commercial reuse license.

Figma offers rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object, and obtain portability of personal data, subject to applicable law. It also recognizes GPC signals for CCPA-style sale/sharing opt-outs when identifiable.

Figma may modify the terms and incorporated policies at any time, with only an effort to give advance notice for material changes. Continued use after the effective date means acceptance.

Figma can terminate access at its sole discretion and may change or discontinue features without notice. It does promise a prorated refund in some paid-service discontinuation cases.

The privacy policy allows third-party advertising partners to use cookies and tracking tools for interest-based advertising. This goes beyond strictly necessary service analytics.

After termination, Figma says customer content will be available for electronic retrieval for 30 days, after which it may be deleted. This gives users a limited off-ramp to export work.

Figma says customer content may be used to improve AI only if content training is toggled on in admin settings, with de-identification and aggregation steps. This is better than default blanket training, but users in org accounts may not control the setting themselves.
