If you sign in to Pinterest, then you can view the details of an accounts Followers / Followings, which may be useful if you are unable to locate the account holder elsewhere on social media. So look for any accounts amongst their Followers / Followings with similar family names or regular individuals accounts, not business or verified / blue tick accounts, and then look for any accounts linked to these on the likes of Facebook or Instagram etc, and then check that accounts Friends / Followers looking for the account of your initial subject.
From A Pinterest Account To An Email Address
As set out in one of the links above, in an article called A Tremendously Valuable OSINT Tip For Pinterest by Griffin Glynn / hatless1der, Pinterest lets you sign in with a Google Email Address, and many accounts holders have done this, and when you do, Pinterest takes the username portion of the email address, and by default, makes it the Pinterest Username / Account Name.
Which means, that in some cases you can reverse-engineer the account holders email address, by putting their Pinterest Username / Account Name in front of @gmail.com etc, which can then be researched to see if it is linked to this account and any others, using some of the email checking sites linked under the Email Address Searches heading, on the Email page of our website, like OSINT Industries, Epieos & Lol Archiver.
