Key Reminders for your Pinterest App:

  • The "App Dashboard" Link: Pinterest requires a live URL for this policy in your Developer App dashboard before they will approve your app for production.

  • Data Minimization: Only ask for the "Scopes" (permissions) you actually need (e.g., boards:read vs boards:write).

  • Hosting: If you don't have a website yet, you can host this text for free on a GitHub Page, a Notion public page, or even a simple Google Doc set to "Anyone with the link can view."

Are you focusing on a specific niche for this app, like regenerative design or visual curation, that might require more specific data handling clauses?
