Higher = more protective of you, the user/customer — a deliberately user-protective lens, not a universal “good vs bad” score. Computed algorithmically from Pinterest’s cited governance stances; no dimension we haven’t confidently read is ever counted against the score. Free, reproducible, and never purchasable.

Key Governance Provisions
High No Payment Rights for Monetized User Content

This provision directly negates any expectation of compensation arising from the broad monetization license granted elsewhere in the Terms, confirming that Pinterest may profit from User Content with…

High Children under 13 prohibited from using Pinterest

A minimum age restriction of 13 establishes a baseline eligibility requirement for all users of Pinterest.

High User authorizes global cross-border data transfer

Use of Pinterest's products or services itself operates as authorization for cross-border data transfer and storage, meaning no separate affirmative consent step is required beyond use of the service.

High Global Privacy Control opt-out signal respected

Pinterest's commitment to respect opt-out signals is conditioned on both the user's state of residence and the user having actively enabled the signal, limiting the scope of this protection.

High User can opt out of targeted advertising and sharing

An available opt-out mechanism means users have a means to limit Pinterest's use and disclosure of their data for these purposes, but the opt-out requires affirmative user action.
