Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The scope of data collection determines what information Pinterest holds about you and how it may be used for advertising and personalization; the policy states that data is collected from your on-platform activity as well as from external partners.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Pinterest's policy states that it collects browsing and interaction data from third-party websites and apps through partner integrations, in addition to on-platform activity, and uses this combined data to build interest profiles for targeted advertising. The policy authorizes sharing of personal data including identifiers, device information, and inferred interests with advertising partners and measurement vendors. You can adjust your ad personalization preferences and review your data rights options at https://www.pinterest.com/settings/privacy.
