Request removal of a personal image by email or form; the email is used only to identify you
A Non-User can ask Pinterest to remove a personal image of them from Pinterest by emailing privacy-support@pinterest.com or using the linked contact form (report policy violation; report exposed personal information). Pinterest says the email address provided will only be used to identify the person as a Non-User who objected to the inclusion of their personal image on Pinterest. The retention section adds that when the person verifies they are the person in the Pin, Pinterest deletes the Pin within 30 days, and that complaint emails and support tickets are kept for two years.
