This analysis describes what Pinecone's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
Pinecone sets a user-facing restriction on submission of sensitive categories of data, but the clause uses the language of a request rather than an enforceable prohibition.
Interpretive note: The clause uses the word 'ask' rather than 'prohibit' or 'require', which is a materially weaker qualifier. The excerpt is also truncated, so additional categories or conditions may follow. The canonical claim preserves 'asks' and does not characterize this as a prohibition.
Pinecone requests that you refrain from submitting sensitive personal information in the listed categories.
