Understanding privacy on Pinterest

It's important to realize that with the exception of your secret boards, anything you pin on Pinterest is completely public . This is why we recommend always using your best judgment when pinning things to Pinterest. Also note that pinning something obscene or overtly offensive can result in the termination of your Pinterest account.

Creating a secret board

If you don't want anyone to see the things you're pinning, you can create a secret board . To do this, simply create a board as you normally would, but make sure to toggle the Secret option from No to Yes .
