Re: [CODE4LIB] Pinetrest Privacy Question

2017-02-17 Thread Eric Hellman
The reason they have you do this is to prove that your account is linked to 
your site. Otherwise anyone could claim ownership of the site and put their own 
logo on the pinterest page.

Privacy is only implicated to the extent that you wish to hide the connection 
between the website and the pinterest account.

Hope this helps!

Not a coder, so would there be any privacy implications for including this?

If there is, maybe we should let other libraries know.
