Account suspended due to wrong birthday entered, no response from Pinterest support

Hello,

          We are running our Pinterest account for 4-5 years now and its one of our top drivers of traffic to our Webpage. The other day when I logged it, it asked for my birthday and I entered the wrong birthday by Mistake, as I thought its asking for the company birthday. Now it thinks Im below 13 years old and suspended the account

Account URL: pinterest.com/pynckfashion

Ive contacted support 3-4 times but no response yet, only automated responses.

As the Pinterest traffic is part of our data portfolio for raising investment, We really need this account back.

Any help will be much appreciated

Thanks

Hi @inthepynck  , I'm sorry to hear your profile has been deactivated, I can imagine how frustrating this could be for you. Unfortunately I won't be able to help, but I do suggest that you keep contacting support. It will take persistence and some patience. Can you start again with a new profile?

Hi Michael,

                   Many thanks for the response, much appreciated. I think you're right, it might take a while, we could possibly start with a new profile just willint to give it another week or half more time.
Hopefully it can be resolved soon 🙂

 

Thanks

Hey @inthepynck I'm happy to hear there was some progress with the deactivation, hopefully it will be sorted out soon! The emails could be from an address which may not be monitored, but it sounds like you are on the right track. Please return once again with updates!

Hi,

   Our acct has been finally reactivated, thank goodness

Took approximately 25 days or a little over 3 weeks,
For anyone else facing this issue, please try the below steps .

1) Raise atleast two tickets from pinterest help https://help.pinterest.com/en/contact

2) Send an email to privacy-support@pinterest.com , pinbot@legal.pinterest.com

3) If really urgent, can raise the issue through trademark litigation, although its not recommended.

Thanks 🙂
