This Privacy Policy explains what information SavePinn ("SavePinn", "we", "us") processes when you use our website at savepinn.com (the "Service"), why we process it, and the choices you have. By using the Service you agree to this policy.
The short version
- No account, no sign-up and no Pinterest login.
- SavePinn sets no cookies and runs no analytics or advertising trackers.
- Downloaded files are streamed to your device and never stored on our servers.
- Your IP address is held in memory for a few minutes to prevent abuse, then discarded.
1. Information we process
Pinterest links you submit
When you paste a link and press Download, we send that link to Pinterest to find the Pin's public media. We temporarily cache the resulting Pin details (title, media addresses and file sizes) for up to 30 minutes so repeat requests are faster. This cache contains information about the Pin — not about you — and is never linked to your identity.
Technical information
Like every website, our server receives your IP address and basic request information (such as your browser type) when you connect. SavePinn uses your IP address only to apply rate limits that protect the Service from abuse. These counters are held in memory and automatically deleted within a few minutes; we do not write them to disk or use them to identify you.
Our hosting and network providers may keep standard server and security logs (for example IP address, date and time, and requested page) for a limited period to operate and secure their infrastructure.
Information you send us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. We use it only to reply and to handle your request, and we keep it only as long as needed for that purpose or as required by law.
What we don't collect
We do not ask for your name, Pinterest username or password, payment details, or any other account information. We do not store copies of the videos, images or GIFs you download.
2. Cookies and tracking
SavePinn does not set cookies and does not use analytics, advertising or social-media tracking scripts. If that changes — for example, if we add privacy-friendly analytics or advertising to keep the Service free — we will update this policy before doing so and, where the law requires, ask for your consent first.
3. Third parties
Pinterest. Media is fetched from Pinterest's servers. Preview thumbnails shown in your result may load directly from Pinterest's content network, which means Pinterest may receive your IP address and browser information as it would for any visitor viewing a Pin. Pinterest's handling of that information is governed by the Pinterest Privacy Policy.
Service providers. We use hosting, network and email providers to run the Service. They process data only on our behalf and under their own security and confidentiality obligations.
We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.
4. Legal bases (EEA & UK users)
Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we process information on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating, securing and improving the Service (for example, rate limiting and caching), and to respond to your requests when you contact us. Where we are legally required to keep information, we rely on legal obligation.
5. How long we keep information
| Information | Retention |
|---|---|
| Rate-limit counters (IP address) | A few minutes, in memory only |
| Cached Pin details | Up to 30 minutes |
| Downloaded files | Not stored |
| Hosting provider logs | Per the provider's policy, typically 30 days or less |
| Emails you send us | As long as needed to handle your request |
6. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. California residents have the right to know, delete and correct personal information and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights; we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law.
Because we hold so little information — and none of it tied to an account — there is usually nothing we can link to you. To make a request, email [email protected]. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
7. Security
We use HTTPS encryption, restrict which servers our download proxy will contact, and keep the amount of data we process to a minimum. No online service can be guaranteed 100% secure, but collecting less data is the best protection we can offer.
8. International transfers
Our servers and service providers may be located in countries other than yours. Where we transfer personal information internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards required by applicable law.
9. Children
SavePinn is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA and UK), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page, and for significant changes we will give more prominent notice on the website.
