- Paragraph 69 of 402
Third-party platforms: If you register for or log in to the Service using a third-party platform (such as Facebook or Google), they will furnish certain information to us to facilitate your account creation or login with us. In addition, if you connect your third-party accounts to our Services, we may use information from those accounts to improve your experience. Further, some third-party applications use Pinterest features such as our 'Save' button, or you can install our 'Save' button for your browser. If so, we collect log data from those sites or apps, including usage data.
Technical service partners: We sometimes receive information about you from technical service partners, including from marketing firms.
Advertisers or other partners: Online advertisers or third parties provide information to us about you to measure, report on or improve the performance of ads on Pinterest, or to help us better understand what kinds of ad to show you on Pinterest. For example, we may receive information about your visits to an advertiser's site, purchases you made from them or information about your interests from a third-party service, which we might use to help show you ads on the Service. Sometimes we get this information through the Pinterest Tag (a piece of code an advertiser puts on their site), which delivers insights to us and our ad partners about actions that a person takes on their website after viewing an ad on our Services. Find out more about the Pinterest Tag and the types of information advertisers or other third parties share with us.
You can control how we use this information to personalise your experience and the ads you see on Pinterest in your Privacy and Data Settings.
