We also use your information to personalise the ads you see

Specifically, we use the information we collect to:

Decide which ads to show you directly on Pinterest, and, depending on where you live, enabling Pinterest directly or through partners to show you ads both on and off Pinterest. For example, if you show an interest in camping tents on Pinterest or browse sleeping bags on one of our partner's websites, we may show you ads for other outdoor products. Depending on your age, location and privacy settings, we customise the ads we show you by identifying your interests based on your on-site and off-site activities, as well as by using information we receive from ad partners or other third parties. We also offer features supported by generative artificial intelligence to enable our advertisers to add limited content to their ads. Where we use cookies to identify your off-site interests, we'll get your consent where required.

Advertise Pinterest products and services to you on other sites and apps. To do this, we disclose information such as cookie IDs, your IP address or a hashed version of your email address to third parties, such as Facebook Ads, Google Marketing Platform and others, who may combine that information with other information they already have about you and deliver ads about Pinterest to you. Learn more about our marketing practices off Pinterest and how to opt out.

Tell our ad partners how their Pinterest ads are doing and how to make them better. We disclose information about the ads you see or interact with on Pinterest to our advertisers and third-party companies to improve the performance of the ads that we or they use to measure or improve the delivery and performance of ads or content on websites and apps. Some of this information is aggregated. For example, we would report to an advertiser that a certain percentage of people who viewed a Pin went on to visit that advertiser's site. Depending on where you live and your settings, we may also disclose this information at an individual level. For example, we would let an advertiser know that a particular Pin has been saved by certain people. To find out more about reporting on ads, please visit the Help Centre.

Some of these activities may be considered 'targeted advertising', 'sharing' or 'selling', as those terms are defined under certain state privacy laws in the US. You can opt out of Pinterest using and disclosing your information for these purposes. To do so, visit your Privacy and Data Settings.

When we use cookies to learn about your behaviour on or off of our services, we or our partners will obtain consent that we may need under applicable law. To find out more about how we use cookies, please see our Cookie Policy.
