This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
This document establishes the terms governing user access to and use of Pinterest's website, applications, and related services. The agreement grants Pinterest a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to use content uploaded by users for platform operation, distribution, and promotional purposes, including through third-party partners, with this license remaining valid for content previously saved or shared by other users even after account deletion. US-based users are subject to mandatory individual arbitration for dispute resolution, with an opt-out mechanism available within 30 days of accepting or re-accepting the terms.
This document governs use of Pinterest's platforms, products, and services, establishing a binding contractual relationship between Pinterest, Inc. (or Pinterest Europe Ltd. for EEA/Switzerland users) and users upon account creation or service access. The agreement states that by posting content, users grant Pinterest a worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use, store, display, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, and distribute that content across Pinterest services and partner platforms, and separately authorizes Pinterest to use content for advertising and marketing purposes. The content license grant is notably broad in scope, covering derivative works and distribution through third-party partners, and the terms assert that this license survives account deletion to the extent content remains on the platform; applicable law, including EU copyright frameworks, may constrain how these terms operate in practice for users in certain jurisdictions. The agreement engages GDPR and EU Digital Services Act frameworks for EEA users, CCPA for California residents, and COPPA for users under 13, with Pinterest asserting US law and California venue as the default governing framework subject to mandatory local law carve-outs for EU and other jurisdictions; the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions applicable to US users create a distinct dispute resolution pathway that compliance teams and consumer advocates should evaluate under applicable state and federal law.
