I
researched the policies for Pinterest, an online pin board where users find,
share and create pins on ideas or items they are interested in. Pinterest uses different types of information;
it utilizes technical information to remember who I am and identify which
device I using. Also, since my Facebook
is linked to my Pinterest account, it also can access certain information, such
as my “friends.” They also use
information from other third party users and partners to find out my interests
in order to customize the pins they suggest. They also may use location to
suggest pins. Another way they use and
share my information is to show ads that relate to my activity both on and off
the site.
However, I can customize my information in order to limit
what off-site information Pinterest can collect as well as how much it can use
to customize what it suggests. I can
also unlink my Facebook account in order to limit the information it can
collect from that site.
As far as the security breach protocol, I wasn’t able to
find this. However, I hope that they do
have a policy and plan in place.
