Data Privacy
Understand data handling practices and what PinBridge stores for operations.
Overview
Privacy decisions for Pinterest workflows should separate operational metadata from business-sensitive content and keep retention/access boundaries explicit.
What You Will Learn
- What data categories are typically required for publish operations.
- How to reduce personal/sensitive data exposure in publish payloads.
- How to align internal retention and access controls with legal obligations.
Implementation Checklist
- Avoid placing personal or secret data in titles, descriptions, alt text, related terms, or custom metadata.
- Prefer asset IDs and controlled storage over ad hoc public URLs when workflows require tighter governance.
- Define retention rules for publish records, logs, and webhook payloads in your internal policy.
- Limit operational access using role-based access and audit access to sensitive workflows.
- Document lawful basis and data-subject handling responsibilities for your own application layer.
Deep Dive
1) Data minimization in payload design
Pin payload fields are easy places to leak unnecessary personal or business-sensitive content.
- Keep pin text focused on campaign intent, not user-identifying details.
- Do not store secrets/tokens in links or metadata fields.
- Sanitize upstream CMS/e-commerce inputs before publish submission.
2) URL-based media vs uploaded assets
Choose media transport based on control requirements and reliability expectations.
- Public URLs are fast to integrate but rely on third-party hosting availability.
- Uploaded assets provide stronger control for repeatable, managed workflows.
- Standardize media source policy per integration to avoid mixed-risk behavior.
3) Retention and deletion planning
Operational logs and publish records should follow clear retention windows and deletion procedures.
- Define who can access log/history data and for how long.
- Implement documented deletion and incident escalation paths.
- Review retention policy regularly as legal requirements evolve.
