Broad Content License Grant

Why it matters

Pinterest can use the photos, videos, and other content you upload in a wide variety of ways — including in advertising and across third-party partner services — without paying you or asking for additional permission.

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

  • FTC
    The FTC can investigate whether the scope of the license grant constitutes an unfair or deceptive practice, especially if not adequately disclosed to consumers at sign-up.
