LinkedIn User Agreement

This document is LinkedIn's User Agreement, effective November 3, 2025, governing the legally binding contract between users (Members and Visitors) and either LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company (for Designated Countries: EU, EEA, Switzerland) or LinkedIn Corporation (for all other users), establishing the terms under which LinkedIn's services may be accessed and used. The agreement states that users grant LinkedIn a broad, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable, worldwide license to use, copy, modify, distribute, publish, and process content and personal data they provide, and authorizes LinkedIn to share member data with affiliates including Microsoft Corporation and its subsidiaries; the agreement further states that LinkedIn may use member data to train artificial intelligence and machine learning models, subject to settings members may adjust. The agreement asserts a comprehensive limitation of liability capping LinkedIn's liability at the greater of fees paid to LinkedIn in the preceding three months or $1,000, and includes a class action waiver and mandatory individual arbitration clause for US users, provisions that may be subject to challenge or limitation under applicable consumer protection law in certain jurisdictions. The agreement engages GDPR for Designated Countries users (with LinkedIn Ireland as data controller), CCPA and applicable US state privacy laws for US residents, and the EU AI Act given disclosed AI/ML training uses of member data; the arbitration and class action waiver provisions may require evaluation under applicable US state and federal consumer protection frameworks, and the AI training data use provisions may require evaluation under GDPR's lawful basis requirements and the EU AI Act.
