ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Parents should be aware that Pinterest is not designed for young children and that minors under 13 are not permitted to register; accounts discovered to belong to underage users may be removed along with their data.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The agreement states that content users post on Pinterest may be used by Pinterest for advertising, marketing, and distribution through partner platforms under a broad royalty-free license that persists after account deletion for content already saved or shared by others. US users who do not opt out within 30 days of accepting the terms are subject to mandatory individual arbitration for disputes with Pinterest, waiving the right to participate in class action lawsuits. You can opt out of the arbitration clause by sending a written notice to Pinterest within 30 days of first accepting or re-accepting the terms, as specified in the dispute resolution section.

The Services are not directed to children under 13. If you learn that your minor child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us. You may not use the Services if you are under the age of 13. Pinterest does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to register. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information.
