We offer you settings to control and manage the personal data we have about you. For personal data that we have about you, you can: Delete Data: You can ask us to erase or delete all or some of your personal data (e.g., if it is no longer necessary to provide Services to you). Change or Correct Data: You can edit some of your personal data through your account. You can also ask us to change, update or fix your data in certain cases, particularly if it's inaccurate. Object to, or Limit or Restrict, Use of Data: You can ask us to stop using all or some of your personal data (e.g., if we have no legal right to keep using it) or to limit our use of it (e.g., if your personal data is inaccurate or unlawfully held). Right to Access and/or Take Your Data: You can ask us for a copy of your personal data and can ask for a copy of personal data you provided in machine readable form.
These rights are legally enforceable under GDPR and CCPA/CPRA, but exercising them requires you to actively submit requests — and LinkedIn's timeline and scope of compliance will vary by jurisdiction.
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.
