Money pool visibility

I'm using the pool for the first time here and I'd like to understand how the visibility options work.

 

If I untick all visibility e.g. contributor's name and amount, will this remove my visibility on people who paid to me as well or is it for other users only?

 

Thank you.

The visibility option is for showing the contributors' details or not. You will still be shown as owner of the pool for those you shared the money pool link to and who they shared it with, and so on, only.

Privacy and Security of Money Pools:

 

Who can view my Money Pool page?

Your Money Pool is visible to anyone who has the link, i.e. anyone you or your friends have shared it with. No one will be able to find your Money Pool via a search engine. If you choose to display your contributor details, your incoming transactions will be visible to anyone who visits the Money Pool.

 

Will any of my account info be shared when I create a Money Pool?

No information is shared without your consent. The only information available publicly through your Money Pool is your profile photo (if you have one), and the name associated with your PayPal account. This information is shared to reassure your friends and family that they’re sending money to the correct person

Thanks @sharpiemarker for your response.

 

The part I'm unclear is when I turn the visibility off, will it still show me (as the owner of the pool) the details of who paid what?
