Manage your privacy and data settings

To provide you with the most inspirational, personalized experience on Pinterest, we use information about your activity off and on Pinterest. For example, if we see you’re into cooking based on what you save on Pinterest, we may suggest food-related Pins, boards, or people we think you might like. You can update your privacy and data sharing settings to adjust how we share and use certain information.

Ads personalization settings

From your privacy and data settings, you can opt in and out of four different ads personalization settings:

Option	Use case
Use sites you visit to improve which ads you see on Pinterest	Controls how we use data collected on other websites and apps to improve ads on Pinterest
Use partner info to improve which ads you see on Pinterest	Controls how we use info from our partners for personalized ads (Please note that this setting does not apply to information about purchases you initiate on Pinterest)
Use your activity to improve ads you see about Pinterest on other sites or apps you may visit	Controls if we can use your Pinterest activity to show you ads about Pinterest on other websites and apps
Share activity for ads performance reporting	Controls if we can share info about you with advertisers, to help them to measure how their ads perform (If you're located in the EU, you're automatically opted out of this setting)

Note: Minors in the EU and UK will automatically be opted out of all ads personalization settings. You’ll be opted in when you turn 18, but you can adjust this in your settings at any time.
