General information

LinkedIn is a useful tool for professional networking but also includes some privacy concerns. Users are advised to consider what information to provide to the service.
In addition to personal details provided by the user, LinkedIn collects information such as user’s activities on the site, IP address and location data from third-party services or GPS-enabled devices.

User retains ownership to the information provided to LinkedIn. The information may be deleted unless it has been shared with others and they have not deleted it, or it was copied or stored by other users. However, the user has to grant LinkedIn an extensive license to e.g. process, modify and commercialize the information. Thus, sensitive or confidential material should not be uploaded to the service.

LinkedIn may provide user’s personal information to third parties: (1) with user’s consent; (2) where it is necessary to carry out user’s instructions; (3) as reasonably necessary in order to provide LinkedIn features and functionality; (4) as LinkedIn reasonably believes is permitted by law or regulation; or (5) as necessary to enforce User Agreement or protect the rights, property, or safety of LinkedIn, its Members, and the public.
LinkedIn provides users with tailored advertisement and content both on LinkedIn and at a third-party site with LinkedIn plugins. However, user is able to opt-out from personalization.

LinkedIn does not share personally identifiable information with any third-party advertiser or ad network. User can control account information visibility to 3rd party apps.

LinkedIn justifies data transfer outside the EU by adhering to the Privacy Shield arrangement and Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the EU Commission (‎https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/62533/eu-data-transfers-and-the-safe-harbor?lang=en).

LinkedIn has no obligation to store, maintain or provide a copy of any content or information provided, except to the extent required by applicable law and as noted in the Privacy Policy. LinkedIn is not obligated to publish any information or content and can remove it in their sole discretion, with or without notice.

LinkedIn's data centers storing our members' information are currently located in the U.S. and Singapore.
