The Pinterest Profile and Privacy Settings

Once you create a Pinterest account, you may want to add a bit of detail to your profile page. It's important to remember that the information on your profile page is public, so you shouldn't share too much personal information. You can also modify your privacy settings if you wish to disconnect your Facebook or Twitter account from Pinterest.

To Modify Your Profile and Privacy Settings:

1. Click the profile icon in the top-right corner of the page.
   Navigating to the profile page
2. Your profile page will appear, which displays your public information and pinboards.
3. Click the Edit profile button.
   Clicking the Edit Profile button
