If you have sensitive client data in your Figma mockups, you might want to stop Figma from training AI models using your content. Here's how: - Go into your organisation Admin - Go into the Settings tab - Scroll to the bottom and uncheck the Content training feature To be fair, I would uncheck this even without sensitive data. I'm not a big fan of my work getting used to train things, without my explicit consent. Because, yes, this is checked by default.
Is this with the free license (Starter)? I see Admin settings on org but not a personal free account. Guess it's going to train AI whether I want it to or not.
Thanks for the reminder. I think Adobe attempted the same, but faced a strong backlash. It's amusing that Figma has taken this path (in a very sneaky way), and now we have to deal with it.
The attitude that they can just use someone else’s data without asking is disgusting. Lacks any kind of respect for their customers. And kf course they are not the only ones they are just among those that got caught doing it.
The fact that it’s “turned on” for starter and professional plans but off for organisation and enterprise plan tells how it was approached.

1moThis is not the right action. The right action is abandoning all SaaS platforms who use our data to gain advantage. All the infrastructure around decision-making is on the SaaS servers. How do you stop this? With a checkbox on a system who you cannot control? No. It is time to support FOSS software or invest to build Linux like tools. The only thing which will differentiate companies in the future is data. Meanwhile, there are alternatives. Sketch and Penpot. But sadly, I am not hopeful, if we look at the data from the past. Designers love to be abused. And without mass exodus, Figma will continue to use user data without restrain.:)
