Pinterest expands its call-recording notice into a Sales Privacy Policy covering outreach and third-party data
The call-recording notice is replaced by a broader 'Sales Privacy Policy' covering email, text and phone outreach by Pinterest personnel. It adds collection of data about you from third-party and public sources (e.g. social media) to identify prospective customers, and notes that calls may be transcribed even if not recorded. It also adds a right to object to direct marketing and a limit on third parties relying on your SMS marketing consent.
Taken from you
- Pinterest may collect job titles, emails, phone numbers, IP addresses and social profiles about you from third parties and public sources
- Calls may be transcribed even if not recorded
- The notice now covers email, text and phone outreach by Pinterest personnel, not just call recordings.
- Data retention of 24 months now applies to other information collected, not just call data
Won back
- Explicit right to object to direct marketing outreach
- Pinterest says it won't let third parties rely on your SMS marketing consent, unless texting on its behalf or legally permitted
- Consent withdrawal extends to other information collected based on consent
- Clearer description of Data Privacy Framework transfers and a link to more information
