Children under 16 are prohibited from using LinkedIn, but the platform relies on self-reporting with no robust age verification mechanism, which may expose younger users to data collection and processing without adequate legal protection.
LinkedIn's agreement grants the platform a broad, royalty-free license to use, modify, distribute, and create derivative works from your content, including for AI model training. US-based users are subject to mandatory arbitration and class action waivers, significantly limiting their ability to pursue legal claims against LinkedIn in court. You can opt out of having your data used for AI training by visiting LinkedIn's Privacy Settings and adjusting your data-for-generative-AI preferences.
