Highest-cost clauses first

High cost

Data sold or shared with third parties

You are agreeing that the company may sell or share your personal data with third parties.

“Sharing your information (a) How we share your information We share your information with Canva affiliates and third-party service providers for the purpose of providing the Service to you, to facilitate Canva’s legitimate interests or if you consent.”

What that means: Your activity and identifiers can be used by companies you did not choose.

The document describes selling or commercially sharing personal data with third parties.

High cost

Tracking you across apps

You are agreeing to cross-service tracking or profiling of your activity.

“Some of these providers may combine data collected from our Service through cookies, pixels, tags and similar technologies, with email or mailing addresses to which they have access to help us serve relevant offers to you.”

What that means: Your browsing and device signals can be stitched into a longer profile.

The document allows tracking or profiling beyond a single site session.

Medium cost

Unilateral changes with little or no notice

You are agreeing that the company can change these terms and treat continued use as acceptance.

“Changes to this Policy We may update this policy from time to time to reflect our current practice and ensure compliance with applicable laws.”

What that means: Rights you have today can shrink later without a clear opt-in.

The company can change the rules, often treating continued use as consent.

Medium cost

Indefinite retention

“Sharing your information (a) How we share your information We share your information with Canva affiliates and third-party service providers for the purpose of providing the Service to you, to facilitate Canva’s legitimate interests or if you consent.”

What that means: Old account data can linger long after you expected it to be gone.

Retention is open-ended or justified with vague business interests.

Medium cost

Children’s data

You are agreeing to terms that may still collect or retain data about children.

“Canva Education In this policy, a child is considered a person under the age of 13 years old (or the minimum legal age in the child’s country to be able to provide lawful consent to the processing of their personal data where the age is higher than 13 years old).”
