If LinkedIn changes its privacy policy and you keep using the platform, you are automatically treated as having agreed to the new terms — even if you didn't actively read or accept them.
Changes to data collection and sharing practices take effect automatically upon continued use, meaning users who do not actively monitor policy updates may unknowingly consent to expanded data uses including new AI training or advertising practices.

Compare across platforms →LinkedIn can materially change how it collects and uses your data, and your continued use of the platform — without any affirmative click or signature — is treated as consent to those changes.
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision conflicts with GDPR Art. 7(3), which requires that consent be as easy to withdraw as to give, and GDPR Art. 6(1)(a), which requires freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent. The EDPB Guidelines 05/2020 on consent explicitly state that pre-ticked boxes and passive behavior do not constitute valid consent. Under UK GDPR and ICO guidance, the same standard applies. CCPA/CPRA does not require consent for all processing but requires notice-at-collection compliance.
