ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The agreement grants Pinterest a sublicensable, worldwide license to modify and create derivative works from user content, which means content you post may be adapted or distributed beyond its original form as part of Pinterest's operations and promotion.

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.
