We use data, including personal data, to conduct research, develop and improve our AI models, which are used for features and capabilities including generative AI features (such as writing suggestions, AI-powered search, and other features), and other AI-related features across our Services.
This means your professional history, content, and behavior on LinkedIn may permanently contribute to AI systems, and the policy does not specify data minimization or anonymization standards applied before training.
LinkedIn collects an extensive range of personal data including professional history, inferred attributes, device signals, precise location, and communications metadata, and uses this data for targeted advertising, AI model training, and sharing across the Microsoft corporate family. Users' profile content and activity data may be used to train LinkedIn's generative AI features without affirmative opt-in consent, representing a significant expansion of data use beyond what many users would reasonably expect from a professional networking platform. You can limit this by visiting linkedin.com/psettings/privacy to opt out of AI training data use and adjust advertising and data sharing preferences.
