LinkedIn is a subsidiary of Microsoft Corporation.
Microsoft is one of the world's largest technology companies with hundreds of subsidiaries; sharing your LinkedIn data across this entire corporate family vastly expands who can access your professional identity, contacts, and activity.
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.
