Pinterest offers choices that may also be privacy rights under local law, exercised through account settings
Pinterest says it offers certain choices to control your data and that, depending on where you live (for example the EEA, Switzerland, the UK or the U.S.), these choices may also be privacy rights under local law. To exercise them you are directed to your account settings and, if you still need help, to the Help Center.
