How to hide your Pinterest profile from search engines

It is also important to mention that your profile won’t be hidden right away, as the search engines need some time for that. Let’s see how to enable this option:

Open your browser and go to Pinterest
Sign in
Click on the arrow icon in the top-right corner of the screen
Now click Settings
Next, click on Privacy and data
You will see the option “Hide your profile from search engines (Ex. Google) under Search privacy
Once you click on the option, you will see a pop-up message
