Why it matters

Parents should be aware that children can use Pinterest from age 13 with parental consent, and that the platform's data collection and broad content license apply to minors' accounts as well.

Consumer impact

By using Pinterest, you grant the platform a wide-ranging license to use, display, and distribute your photos and content across their services. US users are subject to mandatory arbitration and cannot join class action lawsuits against Pinterest, which significantly limits legal recourse. You can opt out of the arbitration clause by sending written notice to Pinterest within 30 days of first accepting these terms.

Applicable agencies

    The FTC enforces COPPA, which governs online collection of personal information from children under 13.
