Sorry, we had to disable access to one of your Pins on Pinterest (Pinterest Email Notice)
Posted: Mon Jul 14, 2025 12:16 am
Hello,
We're getting in touch to let you know that we disabled access to one of your Pins because it matched content that a copyright owner has asked us not to allow on Pinterest.
How was this violation identified
We allow some publishers, creators, and other copyright holders to identify and claim images that they own the rights to. Once they claim a particular image, they can tell us whether they want to allow that image to appear on Pinterest. If they choose to block the image, we will remove any matching images that our automated image-matching technology is able to identify. Your Pin was removed because our technology identified its image as matching content that a copyright owner asked to be blocked from Pinterest.
What does this mean
The Pin was removed for copyright infringement. Please note that your Pin may be reinstated if the claim is removed or disputed.
This was a hybrid deactivation. Hybrid deactivations include those where a human determines that a Pin violates policy, and automated systems help expand that decision to enforce against machine-identified matching Pins. Depending on the prevalence of matching Pins, a hybrid deactivation may result in a number of Pins deactivated or none at all.
Please note that you did not receive a strike under our repeat infringer policy for this report.
What you can do
If you believe your Pins were disabled in error (for instance, if you contend that your use of the content was not infringing, or that the complaining party does not own the copyrights), you may submit a counter notification using this form.
Before we can reinstate the content, we will need to forward a complete copy of your counter notification (including any personal or contact information in it) to the claimant that filed the original report. The claimant may attempt to contact you, or may file an action against you to prevent the content from being restored. For more information, please see Pinterest's Copyright Policy.
If you're in the European Union, you can also pursue the dispute before an out-of-court dispute settlement body that has been certified under the Digital Services Act, or seek judicial redress in accordance with our Terms.
Sincerely,
The Pinterest IP Ops Team
