Pinterest’s first full-year transparency report reveals 41 government data requests on 58 accounts

Pinterest just released its first full-year transparency report.

In 2014, the digital pinboard site received 39 requests for information about 54 accounts in the U.S., Canada, and Australia. Both Canada and Australia filed one request each last year — none of which yielded any information from Pinterest.

Last year, Pinterest reported receiving seven warrants, five subpoenas, one civil subpoena, and no other requests for 13 user accounts, from July to December 2013. Though last year was only a half-year report, the jump in requests may seem significant. But, in reality, Pinterest’s transparency report is very similar to that of social sharing site Reddit.

In 2014, Pinterest received 29 subpoenas. Most were grand jury subpoenas, eight were court subpoenas, and the remaining seven were administrative. There were also 10 warrants.

State and local officials made 26 requests, while 13 requests were initiated at the federal level.

Of the 39 U.S. requests, Pinterest provided account information about 32 users to law enforcement officials. The company was largely able to communicate to users about the requests; however, in 16 instance they could not.

Overall, it’s a fairly boring transparency report with really low request numbers. But it paints a better picture of what kind of government requests come to Pinterest than its 2013 half-year report.
