Overview

This page covers Pinterest’s consumer Terms of Service. Across 17 scrapes spanning 2022-07-11 to 2025-10-03, this dataset contains 33 unique snippets, and the flagged clauses are unchanged throughout.

Major finding: Pinterest’s baseline Content-license clause (present since at least 2022-07-11) grants the license directly to “Pinterest and our users” — not just to Pinterest itself. This predates TikTok’s 2025-06-25 rewrite, which is documented elsewhere in this wiki as “the first confirmed instance of a platform requiring users to grant content-reuse rights directly to other users.” Pinterest’s clause shows this user-to-user pattern already existed in this wiki’s dataset more than two years earlier. TikTok’s 2025-06-25 change should be understood as the first confirmed-via-diff, dated instance of a rewrite introducing this pattern — not the first time the pattern itself appeared. The relevant concept pages have been corrected to reflect this.

Flagged Keywords & Risks

Legal Context & Research Significance

Under Atkinson (2025), Pinterest’s anti-scraping clause — barring users from accessing “data or content from Pinterest in unauthorized ways, such as by using automated means” — gives any bot that crawls Pinterest’s Terms page actual notice of the restriction, making it enforceable as a contract term against that bot’s deployer even though robots.txt compliance alone would be voluntary. The Content-license clause granting rights directly to “Pinterest and our users” is best classified under wearetosed’s “data sharing & selling” category, since it extends a poster’s content-reuse rights to the entire user base rather than just the platform operator. This user-to-user grant is also a useful illustration of Soneji et al.’s (2025) finding that the large majority of ToS;DR-style clauses favor the service provider: even though other users nominally benefit from this license, Pinterest itself bears no compensation obligation and retains the unilateral right to “remove or modify User Content… for any reason,” reinforcing the provider-favoring asymmetry the survey documents.
