What Will Happen to Your Account When You Deactivate It?
When you choose to deactivate your Pinterest account, you will still have the option to deactivate your account if you wish to at any point of time.

- Your account will be no longer linked to your other social profiles such as YouTube, Instagram, etc.
Convert to a Personal account
If you are managing a business account on Pinterest for your website, Pinterest gives you an option to convert it to a personal account.
When you convert your account to a personal account, you will no longer have access to the ad manage on Pinterest or even the analytics for your account.
