11. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

13. Pinterest Integration & Developer Platform API Data Policy

Our Site and associated software tools interact with the Pinterest platform via the official Pinterest Developer Platform API for the purpose of managing, scheduling, and publishing organic content to designated Pinterest boards.

c) Access Revocation: Because we do not store profile or account data on our servers, there is no permanent database data to clear. Users maintain complete control over our application’s access. You can revoke our application’s permissions at any time directly through your Pinterest account settings by navigating to Settings > Security and Logins > Connected Apps and selecting the option to disconnect the application.

a) Data Collection and Usage: Through this integration, we only request access to scopes explicitly authorized by the user (specifically boards:read and pins:write). We do not scrape, harvest, or collect public Pinterest user data, analytics, or follower information. Separate from our API integration, Pinterest may collect information if you interact with public save buttons or widgets on our Site, in accordance with its own Privacy Policy at policy.pinterest.com/privacy-policy.

b) No Permanent Data Storage: We adhere strictly to a “No Storage” policy regarding user-specific Pinterest account data. Any temporary access tokens, board IDs, or operational content structures retrieved via the Pinterest API are processed exclusively in volatile application memory to execute the requested publishing action. They are never written to permanent disk storage, external databases, or shared with third-party networks.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the Site following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
