The clause establishes the operational framework for LinkedIn's advertising infrastructure by explicitly authorizing data aggregation across multiple collection mechanisms and sources, and by establishing cross-platform tracking authority that extends beyond LinkedIn's owned properties to partner websites and applications.
Under this clause, users' profile data, service activity, browsing history, and inferred attributes are systematically collected and combined to enable targeted advertising delivery. The terms authorize continuous tracking through pixels and ad tags on external websites, meaning advertising data collection extends beyond the LinkedIn platform itself.
