1. Introduction
Welcome to WordPin (“we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information processed through our Pinterest scheduling platform and website (the “Service”).
We respect your privacy and comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK Data Protection Act 2018, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and other applicable laws.
By using WordPin, you acknowledge and agree to this Privacy Policy.
2. Data Controller and Scope
WordPin is the data controller only for information collected directly through our own website (for example, contact forms or support messages).
For data that flows through the Pinterest API (your boards, pins, analytics, and content), you remain the data controller, and WordPin acts as your data processor / service provider.
This Policy applies to:
- Visitors to our website (
wordpin.click) - Registered users of the WordPin application
- API integrators and partners
If you are a resident of the EU, UK, or California, additional rights apply (see Section 8).
3. Information Processed Through WordPin
WordPin connects to your Pinterest account using Pinterest’s official API.
We do not independently collect, sell, or own your Pinterest or personal data.
All Pinterest account information and media remain under your control.
When you authorize WordPin, limited data is temporarily accessed or processed to enable features you request.
We may process:
- Basic Pinterest profile details (username, display name, and board names) as returned by the API
- Content you upload or schedule for posting via your Pinterest account
- Technical data (session tokens, API calls, error logs) required to run the Service
These data are used only to provide the requested functionality and are never reused for marketing, resale, or unrelated analytics.
You remain the data controller of your Pinterest content.
4. How We Use Your Information
We process information only to:
- Authenticate your Pinterest account via OAuth 2.0
- Provide and maintain the Service
- Schedule and publish pins at your direction
- Display Pinterest boards and analytics to you
- Troubleshoot issues and deliver support
- Enforce our Terms of Service and prevent misuse
- Comply with applicable laws
We do not sell, trade, or monetize your personal data.
5. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
For EU/EEA/UK users, we rely on:
- Contractual necessity – to deliver the Service you request
- Legitimate interests – to ensure stability and security
- Consent – when you connect Pinterest or opt in to communications
- Legal obligation – where required by law
6. Pinterest OAuth and Data Security
WordPin uses Pinterest’s official OAuth 2.0 protocol.
- We never store your Pinterest password.
- Authentication occurs directly on Pinterest’s servers.
- You may revoke WordPin’s access at any time in your Pinterest settings.
All transmissions use HTTPS/TLS encryption; access tokens and any cached data are encrypted at rest and purged after use.
Regular security audits, penetration tests, and access controls are performed.
7. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell or rent data. We may share data only when:
- Service Providers process it under confidentiality (hosting, email, analytics).
- Legal Requirements compel disclosure.
- Business Transfers occur (merger/acquisition with equivalent safeguards).
- Aggregated/Anonymized statistics are produced.
Example processors:
- Stripe – subscription billing
- Google Cloud Platform – hosting
- PostHog / Plausible Analytics – privacy-respecting analytics
Each vendor is bound by a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) and complies with GDPR/CCPA.
8. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may:
- Access or obtain a copy of your data
- Correct inaccuracies
- Delete your account or revoke Pinterest access
