Outside EU/EEA/Switzerland and the UK, LinkedIn shares your information with our affiliate, Microsoft, for advertising purposes and with select partners for purposes of marketing LinkedIn’s products and services.
With respect to advertising, LinkedIn shares some of your information, such as your profile and LinkedIn activity data with our affiliate, Microsoft, so that they can provide you with more personalized ads and perform ad measurement and improvement of its advertising services. Members can opt out of LinkedIn sharing their data with our affiliate, Microsoft, for this purpose using the Data sharing with affiliates and select partners setting. To opt-out of Microsoft uses of LinkedIn data if it was shared, subject to the Data sharing setting, please visit Microsoft account | Privacy.
We also market LinkedIn’s products and services to you on other sites and services (e.g., to promote engagement with LinkedIn’s services), and may share your information with our service providers for these purposes.
Members can opt out using the Data sharing setting (guests can opt out here, by clicking on “Opt-out of Targeted Advertising”). In California, these settings also serve as your opt-out of LinkedIn’s sharing your personal information for these purposes. Other US members can read more about their rights under US state laws on our US State Laws Privacy page. In addition to these controls, in the U.S. we will automatically opt you out if we receive a Global Privacy Control signal from you that reflects your choice to opt-out of sharing (for guests, the opt-out is browser-specific). If you would like to opt back in, reconfigure or disable the tool you use to transmit Global Privacy Control signals to LinkedIn, then use the Data sharing setting (if you are a member) or clear your browser cookies (if you are a guest).
Note: You can manage your settings from any device you use to access LinkedIn.
