You didn't connect it once. You connected it ongoing. Now every time you view a Pinterest page they know it was you, and Google knows which Pinterest pages you've viewed.

If you trust both Google and Pinterest, this isn't a problem. If you're concerned that someone might be able to hack Pinterest to do naughty things with the linked account, it might be. Fortunately, the website's Google login only grants access to your name, email address, profile picture, and language selection, so there's not a lot of damage that an attacker could actually do -- although the mobile app also gets access to your contact list and your saved media folders.

Signing in, regardless of how you sign in, also grants Pinterest a license to spam you if they want.
