Privacy, in plain language
Privacy Policy
Effective October 15, 2026
1. Information we collect
Account information. If you create an account, we may collect your name, email address, authentication details, and basic account preferences.
Connected Pinterest information. When you choose to connect Pinterest, BetterBoards may store the Pinterest account identifier, Board and Pin identifiers, Board names, Board-to-Pin relationships, Pin titles and descriptions, Pin and image URLs, destination URLs, and synchronization status made available through Pinterest’s approved API and the permissions you authorize.
Your workspace content. We may store notes, tags, plans, categories, searches, and other changes you make inside BetterBoards.
Technical information. We may collect limited device, browser, log, and usage information needed to operate, secure, and improve the service.
2. How we use information
We use information to provide BetterBoards, connect to services you authorize, import and organize saved content, power search and classification features, maintain security, troubleshoot problems, and communicate about the service. We do not sell Pinterest-derived data or use it for advertising, resale, unrelated analytics, or unauthorized sharing with third parties.
BetterBoards is designed to operate on your saved content. We do not use your connected Pinterest account to publish Pins, follow users, or perform actions you have not authorized.
3. Pinterest connection
BetterBoards uses Pinterest’s official authorization flow and API. BetterBoards does not collect your Pinterest password or session cookies, scrape Pinterest pages, sign in as you, or attempt to bypass access controls. Pinterest may process information under its own privacy policy and terms.
Pinterest is identified as the source wherever Pinterest-originated content appears, and BetterBoards provides a prominent link to the original Pin.
You can disconnect Pinterest from BetterBoards at any time. Disconnecting stops future access and immediately removes imported Pinterest Boards, Pins, image references, descriptions, links, synchronization history, and their attached Clean Views from BetterBoards. It does not delete or change anything in your Pinterest account.
4. Sharing and service providers
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with vendors that help us host, secure, authenticate, store, or operate BetterBoards. These providers may process information only to provide services to us and must protect it appropriately.
We may disclose information if required by law, to protect the service and its users, or as part of a business transfer such as a merger or acquisition.
5. Retention and deletion
We keep information for as long as needed to provide the service and meet legal, security, or operational requirements. Pinterest API response caching, when used for performance, is limited to 24 hours.
When you disconnect Pinterest, revoke BetterBoards’ access, or request deletion, Pinterest-derived data is removed immediately where technically feasible and no later than 30 days. BetterBoards Clean Views are fetched directly from public publisher websites, not from Pinterest, with the publisher credited and linked. A Clean View attached only to a Pinterest import is removed when that import is deleted.
You can permanently delete your BetterBoards account and workspace from Settings. Some limited billing or security records may be retained where the law requires it, and backups may take a limited period to expire through normal cycles.
6. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect information. No internet service can guarantee absolute security. Pinterest access tokens and other credentials are intended to be handled server-side and should never be shared publicly.
7. Children’s privacy
BetterBoards is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as BetterBoards changes. We will update the effective date when we make changes and will provide additional notice when required.
