We receive data about you from others, such as: our affiliates; services you use (e.g., your calendar or contacts data); our customers and Partners (e.g., Employer or Prospective Employer, Premium Services, Advertisers, and Marketing Partners); your contacts or others who upload data about you; and publicly available data.
Data collected about you from third parties can be combined with your LinkedIn profile to build a more detailed picture of you than you have directly shared, and you may have limited visibility into what data has been received or from whom.
LinkedIn collects an extensive range of personal data including professional history, inferred attributes, device signals, precise location, and communications metadata, and uses this data for targeted advertising, AI model training, and sharing across the Microsoft corporate family. Users' profile content and activity data may be used to train LinkedIn's generative AI features without affirmative opt-in consent, representing a significant expansion of data use beyond what many users would reasonably expect from a professional networking platform. You can limit this by visiting linkedin.com/psettings/privacy to opt out of AI training data use and adjust advertising and data sharing preferences.
