Overview

• LinkedIn says it will use profile details, job and application data, posts and comments, groups activity, and feedback to train content‑generating AI, with private messages, login credentials, and payment information excluded.
• The “Data for Generative AI Improvement” setting is enabled by default, so members must manually opt out in Settings to stop their data from being used going forward.
• Turning the toggle off prevents future training but does not undo past model training, and LinkedIn directs users to a Data Processing Objection Form for objections to other uses or to seek additional limitations.
• The policy now covers the EU, EEA, UK, and Switzerland after earlier regional exclusions, with LinkedIn noting region‑specific terms for how data may be shared or used.
• LinkedIn says models may be its own or supplied by other providers such as Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI services, and reporting notes expanded data sharing with Microsoft that can support more personalized ads.
