Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pintideletes (“we”, “our”, or “us”).

Pintideletes is a web-based application that allows users to connect their Pinterest accounts, view their Pins, and delete selected Pins in bulk.

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how it is stored, and how it is deleted when you use our website and services.

By using Pintideletes, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

To provide our services, Pintideletes may process the following information:

3. Pinterest Account Connection

Pintideletes uses Pinterest's official authorization process (OAuth) to connect your Pinterest account.

When connecting your account:

• You authorize Pintideletes through Pinterest.
• We receive access tokens based on the permissions you approve.
• We use those permissions to retrieve your Pins and perform deletion actions you request.
• You can disconnect your Pinterest account at any time.

Pintideletes does not access your Pinterest password.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we process for the following purposes:

• To connect your Pinterest account.
• To display your Pinterest boards and Pins.
• To allow you to select Pins for bulk deletion.
• To process deletion requests through Pinterest.
• To maintain your session while using the application.
• To prevent unauthorized access and misuse.
• To troubleshoot technical issues.
• To improve the reliability and performance of our services.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

We do not use your Pinterest data for advertising or unrelated commercial purposes.

5. Pin Deletion and Data Storage

Pintideletes is designed to help users delete selected Pins from their Pinterest accounts.

When you select Pins and confirm deletion:

• The selected Pin IDs are temporarily processed by our application.
• A deletion request is sent to Pinterest through its API.
• Pinterest processes the deletion request.
• Temporary Pin data and deletion-related records are automatically removed according to our data-retention process.

6. Data Storage and Hosting

Pintideletes is deployed and hosted using Vercel infrastructure.

Vercel may process technical information necessary to host, deliver, secure, and operate our website.

Depending on our application configuration, information may also be processed through databases or other infrastructure services used to operate Pintideletes.

We take reasonable measures to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

We do not guarantee that any internet-based service is completely secure.

7. Third-Party Services

Pintideletes relies on certain third-party services to operate.

These may include:

These third-party services operate under their own privacy policies and terms of service.

We encourage users to review the privacy policies of these providers.

8. Cookies and Local Storage

Pintideletes may use essential cookies or browser storage to:

• Maintain user authentication sessions.
• Support Pinterest OAuth authorization.
• Remember necessary application preferences.
• Protect against unauthorized requests.

These technologies are used to maintain the functionality and security of the application.

We do not use cookies to sell or share your personal information for advertising purposes.

9. Data Sharing

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

Information may be processed by third-party providers only when necessary to:

• Operate and host Pintideletes.
• Connect to Pinterest.
• Process user-requested deletion operations.
• Maintain application security.
• Comply with applicable legal requirements.

We do not share Pinterest data with unrelated third parties for their own marketing purposes.

10. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain information only for as long as necessary to provide our services and meet legitimate operational or legal requirements.

Our general data-retention approach is:

• Pin information: Temporarily processed and deleted after the relevant operation.
• Temporary deletion records: Automatically removed after processing, subject to limited operational retention.
• Authentication tokens: Retained only as needed to maintain an authorized session and removed when the session is disconnected or no longer required.
• Technical logs: May be retained by infrastructure providers according to their applicable retention policies.
• Support communications: Retained as reasonably necessary to respond to user requests.

You can request deletion of personal information associated with your use of Pintideletes by contacting us.

Disconnecting your Pinterest account from Pintideletes does not automatically delete information held independently by Pinterest or our infrastructure providers.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable privacy laws, you may have the right to:

• Request access to your personal information.
• Request correction of inaccurate information.
• Request deletion of your personal information.
• Request information about how your data is processed.

If we become aware that personal information has been collected from a child without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.
