This clause establishes the mechanism by which LinkedIn can unilaterally update its privacy practices and the procedural requirement to notify users of material changes before implementation. It creates a framework where the user's continued service usage serves as acceptance of modified terms rather than requiring affirmative consent.
Interpretive note: The enforceability of deemed acceptance through continued use for material data processing changes is subject to GDPR and UK GDPR challenge, and may depend on the specific nature of the change and the legal basis asserted.
Users are notified of material privacy policy changes before they take effect, but the provision structures acceptance through continued use rather than explicit consent. Users retain the option to close their account if they object to proposed changes, but do not retain the option to continue using the service under the prior policy version.

"LinkedIn ('we' or 'us') can modify this Privacy Policy, and if we make material changes to it, we will provide notice through our Services, or by other means, to provide you the opportunity to review the changes before they become effective. If you object to any changes, you may close your account. You acknowledge that your continued use of our Services after we publish or send a notice about our changes to this Privacy Policy means that the collection, use and sharing of your personal data is subject to the updated Privacy Policy, as of its effective date.— Excerpt from LinkedIn's LinkedIn Privacy Policy
