LinkedIn can change its privacy policy at any time, and simply continuing to use LinkedIn after being notified of changes means you automatically agree to the new terms.
You may find that your privacy rights have been reduced or data uses expanded without your explicit agreement — continued use of LinkedIn is treated as acceptance, even for material changes that significantly alter how your data is used.
If LinkedIn changes how it collects or uses your data, you are considered to have agreed to those changes simply by continuing to log in and use LinkedIn — your only alternative if you object is to close your account.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: GDPR Art. 7 requires that consent be as easy to withdraw as to give; using service continuation as deemed consent to new data processing terms is inconsistent with GDPR consent standards. Art. 6(1)(a) requires freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent. If LinkedIn relies on consent as a legal basis for any processing, changing terms by notice and deemed acceptance may invalidate that consent. CCPA does not impose equivalent consent requirements but notice obligations apply.
