DMCA & Copyright Policy

PinVideo.io respects the rights of the people who create the content on Pinterest. This page explains how the service handles copyright, and how a rights holder can ask us to act.

1. What PinVideo does and does not hold

Because we hold no copy of the media, there is no file on our systems to delete. That does not mean we take no action, see the next section for what we can do.

2. What we can act on

On a valid notice we will:

• Add the specific pin, board or account to a blocklist so our tool refuses to process it.
• Remove any thumbnail, title, description or preview text relating to that content from our pages.
• Block users who repeatedly submit infringing requests.

If a file needs removing at source, that request must go to Pinterest, since the media is served from their infrastructure. Their process is set out in the Pinterest copyright policy.

3. Filing a takedown notice

If you own the copyright in material our tool can access, or you are authorised to act for the owner, send a written notice to the address below. To be valid under section 512(c)(3) of the U.S. Copyright Act, your notice must include all six of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of a person authorised to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed. Where one notice covers several works, a representative list is acceptable.
3. Identification of the material complained of, with enough detail for us to locate it. Include the full Pinterest pin URL. A notice without a URL cannot be acted on.
4. Contact details we can reach you at, including an email address.
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief the use complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.

4. What happens next

We aim to acknowledge every notice within 2 business days and to complete our review within 10 business days. Where a notice is valid and complete, we will block the identified content from being processed by our tool and confirm this to you in writing. If a notice is incomplete, we will tell you which of the six elements above is missing so you can resubmit.

5. Filing a counter-notice

If your content was blocked and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice containing:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was blocked, and where it appeared before it was blocked.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief the material was blocked as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your contact details, including an email address.
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the district in which your address is located, or, if your address is outside the United States, of any district in which we may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice.

Send counter-notices to the same address. On receipt of a complete counter-notice we will forward a copy to the original complainant. If they do not notify us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the material.

6. Repeat infringers

We will block access for users who repeatedly attempt to use PinVideo to obtain material that has been the subject of valid takedown notices.
