Here’s how secret boards work on Pinterest: https://support.pinterest.com/entries/22277603 You can create up to 3 secret boards. If you already have 3 secret boards but want to make a new one, you’ll need to delete one or make one of your current secret boards visible to everyone. If you’re invited to contribute to someone else’s secret board, it won’t count against your 3-board limit. When you add a pin to a secret board, it won’t show up anywhere else on Pinterest—not in the category sections, Popular, Everything, anyone’s search results, your followers’ home feed, your own home feed, or even pins or activity pages on your profile. Your secret boards and pins are at the bottom of your profile. Just scroll down to see them. On the web, there are 2 places where you can create a secret board: From the Add+ button: 1. Click Add+ at the top right-hand toolbar on Pinterest 2. Select Create a Board 3. Give your board a name, say who can pin, toggle the Secret setting to ON. This makes your board secret.
