LinkedIn shares your personal data with Microsoft and its affiliated companies, which can include combining data across different Microsoft products and services.
Because LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft, your professional data on LinkedIn can be shared across Microsoft's entire ecosystem — including Azure, Office 365, and Bing — significantly expanding how your data is used beyond what you might expect from a professional networking site.
Your LinkedIn profile data, activity, and professional history may be shared with and combined across Microsoft's family of companies, creating a significantly broader data profile than LinkedIn alone would suggest.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: GDPR Arts. 13/14 require disclosure of all recipients or categories of recipients at time of data collection; sharing with Microsoft affiliates without specific disclosure of each entity and purpose may be insufficient.

CCPA §1798.115 requires disclosure of categories of third parties with whom data is shared. FTC Act Section 5 applies to representations about data sharing that may be misleading.
