What we access. With explicit OAuth authorization by our account operators, we may access profile information needed to identify the connected Business account, list and manage boards we own, and create or read Pins that promote articles on blog.xqa.io.
What we store. We may store OAuth access and refresh tokens, app configuration, and board/Pin identifiers in a private environment used by our operators. We do not ask for or store Pinterest passwords. We do not sell Pinterest account data.
Who can connect. Only authorized operators of My XQA blog complete the Pinterest OAuth flow. Site visitors are not required to connect a Pinterest account to read the blog.
