Only you (and anyone you invite) can see your secret boards. On your home feed you may see suggestions for Pins based on your secret boards. These are only visible to you and can be used for inspiration to find more ideas. You must have at least one secret board for these suggested pins to appear.

If you want to make a new secret board, create a board and toggle Keep this board secret when you name the board.
