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.

Cross-references
qualified by (model-proposed): Rights may be limited, and a denied request may be appealed by email — The rights section says rights may be limited, including where a deletion request covers information Pinterest is required by law to keep or has a compelling legitimate interest to keep; this qualifies the general statement that you can have your information deleted.
contrast (model-proposed): Information may be kept for legal and regulatory reasons, including after an account is deleted — Deletion is offered as a setting, while the EEA, Swiss and UK retention passage says information may be kept for legal and regulatory reasons after an account has been deleted. The source does not say how the two fit together or which information is kept.
EEA, Swiss and UK residents can have the data they provided sent to another organization where feasible
People in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland have a right to portability: you can have the information you provided sent to another organization, where Pinterest holds it with your consent or for the performance of a contract with you and where it is technically feasible.
