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.
This analysis describes what LinkedIn's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
This provision establishes the procedural mechanism by which LinkedIn implements policy changes and defines the conditions under which modified terms become binding on users. It allocates to LinkedIn the unilateral right to modify data collection, use, and sharing practices subject to notice and opportunity to object.
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.

"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
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.
