LinkedIn's Privacy Policy establishes the scope and procedures for collection, use, and sharing of personal data generated through the platform, including profile information, messages, device identifiers, on-platform and off-platform browsing behavior, and inferred interest data. The policy authorizes LinkedIn to process collected data for targeted advertising delivery, artificial intelligence model training including generative AI applications, and disclosure to advertising partners, analytics vendors, and affiliated companies. Users in the EU, UK, and California operate under supplemental data rights including access, correction, deletion, and opt-out mechanisms for certain processing activities, with management tools available through LinkedIn's Privacy Settings interface.
This document is LinkedIn's Privacy Policy, effective November 3, 2025, governing the collection, use, and sharing of personal data for all Members and Visitors of LinkedIn's services globally, with LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company serving as data controller for EU/EEA/Switzerland users and LinkedIn Corporation serving as controller for all other users. The policy states that LinkedIn collects name, email address, mobile number, location, password, payment and billing information, profile data (education, work experience, skills, photo), device identifiers, IP addresses, browsing activity on and off LinkedIn, content interactions, messages, calendar data, and inferred data; the terms authorize use of this data for advertising, AI model training, content recommendations, analytics, and sharing with affiliates, advertising partners, analytics vendors, and third-party services. The policy asserts a broad license to use member-provided content and data for AI and generative AI feature training, and authorizes sharing member data with third-party advertisers and data partners; EU/EEA users may have additional rights under the European Regional Privacy Notice, while the practical scope of data use for AI training purposes may require evaluation under GDPR lawful basis requirements. The policy engages GDPR for Designated Countries users (with LinkedIn Ireland as controller), CCPA and U.S. state privacy laws for California and other U.S. residents, and references a separate California Privacy Disclosure and U.S. State Privacy Laws page; LinkedIn also references compliance with data transfer mechanisms for cross-border data flows. Material compliance considerations include the lawful basis for processing member data for AI and generative AI training under GDPR, the adequacy of consent mechanisms for behavioral advertising, and the scope of legitimate interests claimed for data processing.
