Private business use only while in testing — Pin Press Studio is still in private beta. The public may view this website, but the product is available only to the owner and invited testers. Please do not share your sign-in details. This policy will apply publicly once Pin Press Studio launches.
Current feature status: Pin Press Studio currently lets invited users create product profiles, upload product photos and brand documents, read a single web page, document or pasted text, scan a public website sitemap (up to 40 pages per run), generate pin designs and copy with AI, run automatic and manual SEO/AEO reviews, build custom templates from uploaded sample designs, save pins and place them in an internal scheduling queue. Direct Pinterest account connection and publishing are not yet live; the Pinterest sections of this policy describe how that feature will work when it is released.
Pin Press Studio is currently in private beta. During this testing period, access is limited to the owner and invited testers. The public may be able to view the Pin Press Studio website, but the product itself is not generally available.
This Privacy Policy applies during the private beta and will continue to apply after public launch, subject to any updates we make to reflect changes to the service, our data practices or applicable law.
Pin Press Studio ("Pin Press Studio", "we", "us" or "our") is a web application that helps small business owners create, write and schedule Pinterest Pins for their own brands.
Pin Press Studio is owned and operated by Jessica Smith, Australia (ABN 46 605 750 270). Contact: joanie.smith.biz@gmail.com.
This Privacy Policy explains: what personal and business information we collect; what information we receive when you connect a Pinterest account; how we use that information; when we share information with service providers; how we protect information; how long we retain information; your privacy choices and rights; and how you can contact us about privacy.
This policy applies to the Pin Press Studio website, application and services, including any connection between Pin Press Studio and your Pinterest account.
Pin Press Studio is an independent product. It is not made, endorsed, sponsored or administered by Pinterest.
We collect information that you choose to provide when you use Pin Press Studio.
Depending on how you sign in, this may include:
If you sign in with Google, Google may provide us with information such as your name, email address and profile picture.
Passwords for Pin Press Studio accounts are handled by our authentication provider. We do not receive or store your password in plain text.

Pin Press Studio can fetch public website content when you ask us to create Pins based on a website, blog, page or sitemap.
This process is initiated by you.
When you provide a URL, blog address or sitemap, our servers may fetch:
Requests identify themselves with the user agent "PinPressStudioBot/1.0". A website scan reads up to 40 pages per run, only when you start it, and the source page address is saved with each pin so it can be used as the pin's destination link.
You should only submit websites, pages and other content that you own or are authorised to use.
You remain responsible for ensuring that the content you provide to Pin Press Studio may lawfully be used to create your Pins.
The content we fetch is used to provide the feature you requested, including generating Pin copy and performing SEO or AEO checks.
Where you request a blog-quote Pin, quotations may be reproduced from the page you provided so that you can review the proposed Pin before publication.
Website content fetched for a particular request is used to provide that request and is not intended to become a permanent archive of the website.
Where applicable, information such as page addresses may be retained as part of your Pin Press Studio content so that you can reuse the destination or related content.
Your Pin Press Studio information may be stored using cloud infrastructure and service providers that support our application.
Uploaded images, logos, templates and finished Pin images may be stored in cloud file storage associated with your account.
Product and brand documents may be processed to create a brand brief. The resulting brand brief and information you choose to save may be stored with your product profile.
We use technical and organisational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we hold, including:
Access to user information by staff is limited to what is reasonably necessary to operate, maintain, secure or support Pin Press Studio.
No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security. We take reasonable measures to protect your information, but you should also use appropriate security practices, including protecting your account credentials.
Pin Press Studio can connect to your Pinterest account through Pinterest's official API using OAuth.
You choose whether to connect your Pinterest account. You can disconnect it at any time.

We request only the Pinterest API permissions necessary to provide the Pinterest features you choose to use.
The actual permissions requested by Pin Press Studio are presented to you through Pinterest's OAuth authorization process.
We do not request additional Pinterest permissions simply because they are available.
When you connect your Pinterest account, Pinterest provides Pin Press Studio with authentication credentials, which may include an access token and a refresh token.
These credentials are stored securely and are used by our servers to make authorised requests to Pinterest on your behalf.
