DMCA and Copyright Notices
SnagPins hosts no content. It reads public Pinterest pages. Here is how rights holders send a notice and how a cached pin is removed.
SnagPins respects the rights of creators. It does not host or copy Pinterest media: every file is requested from Pinterest at the moment of a download, and only a short cache of resolved pin data is kept.
If you believe the service is being used to infringe your copyright, send a notice to the address on this page. A valid notice should identify the work, identify the pin or link concerned, include your contact details and signature, state that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorised, and state under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them.
A notice about a pin removes its cached result and blocks the pin from being resolved again. Because files are generated on request rather than stored, there is nothing else to take down on our side. The original content remains on Pinterest, and only Pinterest or the publisher can remove it there.
If you believe a removal was a mistake, send a counter-notice with the same details, the reasons you believe the material is not infringing, and the consent to jurisdiction the applicable law requires. A cached result may be restored if the legal requirements are met.
Notices are recorded so the same material is not restored in error, and abusive or knowingly false notices may be refused. SnagPins is independent and not affiliated with Pinterest.
A notice is matched against the pin id it names. If the id cannot be identified from the message, the reply explains what is missing rather than leaving the notice unanswered.
You do not need a lawyer to send one. A clear, specific message from the rights holder, or from someone authorised to act for them, is enough to start the process.
