What is Pinterest?

Pinterest is an online pinboard which allows users to share images, videos or gifs.

How does Pinterest work?

Pinterest is an online interactive pinboard which allows registered users to share images, videos, or gifs. They can be uploaded, saved, sorted, and managed. Users can also browse content that has been uploaded by others and find inspiration. When you discover pins, users can save them to boards to keep ideas organized and easy to find. A pin is an image that has been uploaded or linked to from a website. A board is where the pins are kept.

Is it safe for children and young people?

Users need to be at least 13 years old to use Pinterest.  In some countries, such as within the European Union, the age of consent varies from 13 to 16. Users  from one of those countries may only use Pinterest if they are over the age at which they can provide consent to data processing under the laws of their countries.
