LinkedIn builds advertising profiles from your professional data and behavior, and these profiles may be used to target you with ads even on third-party websites and apps.
LinkedIn collects extensive personal data ā including your professional history, activity patterns, device information, and inferred attributes ā and uses it for targeted advertising, AI model training, and sharing with recruiters, business partners, and affiliates. Your data may persist in some form even after account deletion, and third parties can contribute data about you to LinkedIn's systems without your direct knowledge. You can manage many privacy preferences by visiting https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/privacy to review and adjust your data sharing and ad settings.
