Hi @mtoreihi,
Information entered in the “Guidelines for filing a Competing Interest statement” setup field is displayed in the QuickSubmit plugin, on the metadata form for a submission, in the reviewer’s workflow and submission process. It shouldn’t be displayed in the “About” area. I suspect your journal either has modifications to the About area, or that the same data has also been entered into another field that is getting displayed.
