Does "Claim Your Home" reveal your name to the public of keep it private?

Profile picture for Loves LA
...I meant "or keep it private?"

Also, if someone were to click to read my profile, is my home & address suddenly available for all to see because I claimed it?

I'd like to update my home info but I guess I'm obviously concerned about my privacy.

No. Claim your home does not reveal your name. People that visit your home page will only see the phrase "This home has been claimed by Owner" under the Ownership section like on this house here. When you are logged into Zillow, you will see the phrase "Loves LA you have claimed this home" but no one else can see that or connect your screen name with your house (other than Zillow itself) unless you post it your address yourself on the discussion forum.

I enjoy my privacy and would not have claimed my home if it meant that my name was on my home page. Zillow has their privacy policy here. I have never had an issue with them violating my privacy and they do not post owner names. Hope the info helps.
