ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

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.

Interpretive note: The canonical claim reflects the primary opt-out right. The excerpt's characterization of certain activities as 'targeted advertising,' 'sharing,' or 'selling' is noted in omitted_material as a separate legal proposition.
