You can manage the visibility settings of customer preferences in your store, including marketing preferences, lists, and contact data fields. When these preferences are set to visible, registered customers can view them on your Newsletter subscriptions page after they log in to their account.
Any selected contact data fields, marketing preferences, or lists that the customer already exists in are pre-selected when they view the Newsletter subscriptions page.
Before you start
Things you need to know:
Only contact data fields with a visibility setting of public can be shown to customers.
You can create more custom contact data fields and set their visibility in your Adobe Commerce account.

Troubleshooting
Only the standard Adobe Commerce content displays on the Newsletter subscriptions page
There could be a few reasons for this:
The functionality hasn't been enabled. You need to ensure you have enabled this by selecting Yes from the available dropdowns.
No selection has been made from the to show lists for your lists and data fields. You need to select at least one.
The page might be cached. Make sure any caches have been cleared.
The content is displaying but nothing is pre-selected
Ensure the contact you are testing this with exists in the public lists and has data held against them for the public contact data fields and preferences.
Refresh the page. Sometimes the data required for the contact is retrieved using the API and it may be the case that this retrieval failed upon the initial load.
