ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Pinterest may combine data it receives from external advertisers and third-party services with your on-platform activity to target advertising, meaning your offsite behavior informs the ads you see.

Interpretive note: The excerpt uses 'may' twice, indicating both the receipt of data and its use for ads are conditional rather than certain. Both qualifiers are preserved in the canonical claim.
