Pinterest requires users to be at least 13 years old, and users between 13 and 18 must have parental or guardian consent. Certain features may only be available to users who are 18 or older.

The provision creates three operational eligibility tiers based on age, with parental consent requirements for the 13-18 cohort. This establishes Pinterest's compliance framework with child protection regulations including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar age-gating requirements across jurisdictions.
Minors using Pinterest are subject to the same data collection and content licensing terms as adults, raising child privacy considerations for parents; the terms attempt COPPA compliance by requiring parental consent for users under 13.

"Any use or access to Pinterest by anyone under the age of 13 is not allowed. If you are older than 13, you can use Pinterest if you are over the minimum age of consent in your country. If you are 13 to 18, you may only use the Service with the permission of your parent or legal guardian.— Excerpt from Pinterest's Pinterest Terms of Service
The age-gating provisions engage COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) for US users under 13 and GDPR Article 8 requirements for EU users under 16 (or lower national age thresholds). Compliance teams should assess whether Pinterest's age verification and parental consent mechanisms meet current regulatory standards given ongoing FTC and EU enforcement focus on children's privacy.
