LinkedIn updates their privacy policy

LinkedIn has recently announced some changes to its User Agreement and Privacy Policy. Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered with a simple breakdown of what this means for you.

What’s Changing?

1. Content Recommendations and Moderation: LinkedIn is providing more details on how they suggest content to you and how they manage what appears on the platform.

2. AI Features: They’re introducing new rules about their AI-powered tools. This includes how they might use the content you share to improve these features.

– More Transparency: LinkedIn is being more open about how they use your data and content.

– AI Opt-Out Option: You can choose not to have your data used for AI training. (Note: This option isn’t available in the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK yet.)
