The explicit inclusion of Microsoft Corporation and its subsidiaries in the affiliate definition means your LinkedIn professional data and content could be shared with a very large set of companies, including GitHub, Azure, and other Microsoft products, for purposes permitted under the agreement.
The agreement grants LinkedIn a royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable license to use content members post, including for AI and machine learning model training, and authorizes data sharing with Microsoft Corporation and its subsidiaries. US-based members are subject to a mandatory individual arbitration clause and class action waiver, which requires disputes to be resolved outside of court proceedings. You can review and adjust your AI data-use settings through LinkedIn's Privacy Settings page, and EU/EEA/Swiss residents may have additional rights to object to certain data processing under GDPR.
