To keep the Pinterest community safe, we may deactivate accounts that violate our Community Guidelines. If your account was deactivated, you'll see a deactivation notice when you try to log in.

How it works

We make sure content meets our Community Guidelines through both automated processes and human review. Pins, comments, photos, messages, or accounts dedicated to policy-violating content can result in account deactivation. 

Accounts may be deactivated due to single or repeat violations of our Community Guidelines concerning: 

  • Pinner Safety (for example: hateful speech, pornography, graphic imagery and misinformation)
  • Account security (including impersonation and third-party logins) 
  • Spam
  • Intellectual property
    •  Appealing an account deactivation

    If you think we shouldn't have deactivated your Pinterest account, get in touch with us. Once you send in a request, we'll take a look at it and get back to you.

    If your account wasn’t deactivated and you’re still having trouble logging in to Pinterest, read our tips for common login issues.
