Pinterest

I adore this site for inspiration, ideas, and just for spending a good time! It's a relaxing time for me to watch wonderful pictures from all over the world

As an art student, I'm always looking for inspiration. My friend reccomended Pinterest and when I set up the account, I was very surprised. I wasn't initially expecting much, because most websites have spam and people who are only out to amuse themselves, not others. But it's great! When I'm sat at home, bored out of my head, all I have to do is type in 'projects' and it comes up with all sorts of things for me to do. It's also great if you have friends on Pinterest, because you can communicate and send each-other pins. It really lightens up my day!

The only minor problem I've experienced is that most pins are linked to websites which sometimes make my phone crash, but I think that's because my phone is an old version. I love Pinterest, GET IT!

My acct. Is deactivated. I use it for work as a writer. I have broken no rules and cannot figure out why the acct. Was deactivated. There is no one to contact. No chat line or help line. I sent an email and got an auto reply that said, "Hi there, Thanks for writing in. It looks like your Pinterest account is suspended. (No kidding) Our team of experts will review your account. We'll send you another email with the results of our review." (Uh, when will that be?) Basically, blow off, we're too busy to be bothered. How can the advertisers want to waste money on this unprofessional company. Don't get too attached to your stuff here as you can be thrown off any day, for any reason.

I used to work at this company. They might look glamours from the outside, they have no intention to secure personal sensitive data collected from their customers. Their Security team has no proven measurable process to protect and secure users data privacy and security. Everything was controlled subjectively by couple guys who lead the team like Godfathers of the Mafia. Upper management at the same time has zero monitoring metric and measurable controls. I wonder how they would pass Data Privacy laws regulated by the EU or California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA 2020). Protect your data, stay away! Because they won't.

I'm new to Pinterest and I must say that I'm wowed by it! I love the endless possibilities from pinning your own pictures to pinning from different websites and social media. Another thing that I find great is the ideas! So many people and so many different ideas! I had some trouble in decorating my new home a couple of months ago and I admit I found ideas on Pinterest. I can't give it less than 5 stars since I'm absolutely amazed by the Pinterest world :)

Over several weeks and through multiple requests, I still have not been able to have resolved a technical problem with removing personal data from Pinterest.

The company has absolutely no way to contact them except via web, and they seem to be either completely incompetent or completely uncaring.

I suggest not putting ANYTHING on pinterest that you might EVER want to remove from the Internet. They offer no way for me to delete the data, and they are unresponsive to my multiple (at least five) requests over three weeks.

My only recourse is to file a law suit against them and hope that maybe then they will get the message that I want my personal data removed.

Pinterest is a site for collecting cool things you've found online and sharing it with friends. It is similar to Tumblr, but it allows you to organize the things you like into sections or boards. There is a feed from your follows, feeds for all the different categories, and a feed from the most popular from all users of Pinterest. Anything can be pinned - categories range from home or weddings to food and fashion. You can personalize your boards to be anything you want, and they're always there to look at later. With the amount of everything on the site, it is incredibly organized, and that's probably my favorite thing about it. And of course, it has a ton of great ideas and is a lot of fun.

I find Pinterest a great site for pics for any occasion but a lot of the merchants on this site have very low trust scores. Not a safe site to order items from. I highly recommend you vet all merchants to assure you are buying from a reputable site. Trust Pilot is a great source.

I got the worst virus/malware on their site looking at home decor. I did not click on anything except someone's site. I immediately shut down the computer when the screen didn't show what was supposed to be there. When I turned the computer back on I had the FBI virus and lost the use of the computer for 2 days to have the computer people take the virus off. I contacted Pinterest and told them to check my usage history and they would know where the infection came from. They didn't even bother to respond other than an auto mailer. Beware of this site. One click and you will be paying money to get your computer back!

I use to love Pinterest! Now it seems too overpopulated with the same posts over and over. The most frustrating thing now I'd just trying to get to a recipe once you find one! Many times the "jump to recipe" isn't there or it is still so over ran with ads and pop ups and I can't stand it any longer!

Worthless to me now!

Pinterest is now fascist & insane. They have closed multiple accounts of anyone who even questions mainstream "allopathic" (sick care) medicine, vaccine choice, alternative or holistic approaches to disease, etc. They have stripped users ("pinners") of their basic rights of freedom of thought, freedom of sharing ideas and information, and freedom to express grievances of censorship. Their narrowly defined content-based restrictions infringe on our basic First Amendment rights. They boldly censor us under the absurd guise of protecting us from fake news and misinformation'. This is just crazy. I am closing my Pinterest account in protest and outrage. I refuse to be censored. We have the power over social platforms. I strongly suggest you exercise your rights of freedom of thought, ideas, and sharing on the internet, before all rights are removed from you: Close your Pinterest account & write a review explaining that you refuse to be censored. It's really that simple.

For the past few months I have engaged in a useless struggle to fix two problems
1. I cannot send a pin to my group
2. Pins show 8 comments, but there are no comments, I post a comment and comment count is still 8 comments. Later my comment is gone. Messages from Pin group that they have commented on such and such pin, there are no comments.

Instructions from Pinterest complicated, went to Apple, paid $175.00 for trouble shooting, and told this is@ Pinterest, contact Customer Service. More repeat instructions.

So we did some research, since I cannot send a pin, sent messages to a group, go to All Pins and see first pin. There are 7 comments, non visible. I placed a comment, can you add a comment, let me know if you can see my comment? Comment count increased by five, comment count remains@ 7, I can see none of their comments, and they cannot see mine. They also cannot see the 7 reported comments.
