FAQ

Pinterest opt-out FAQ

Can I get something removed from Pinterest if I don’t have an account?

Yes. Pinterest accepts privacy, impersonation, and harassment reports through its help center, including from people without an account.

Will Pinterest remove a post just because I don’t like it?

Usually not. Pinterest removes content that breaks its rules, such as harassment, impersonation, private information, or non-consensual intimate images. Cite the specific rule in your report.

What if Pinterest rejects my report?

You can appeal, use a more specific privacy or legal form, or ask the person who posted it to delete it. Search engine removal or suppression can reduce visibility if it stays up.
