California Consumer Privacy Act
Notice for California Consumers
On February 23, 2026, LinkedIn updated this disclosure to make more clear that when LinkedIn shares member data with Microsoft for its ads, Microsoft may show those ads anywhere, including outside of Microsoft’s services. As always, you can opt out of the Sharing of your Personal Information at any time. We also now refer to “related companies” among the partners who may provide personal data that we collect.
Last revised February 23, 2026
This notice describes the rights of Californians under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, which was amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (together, “CCPA”). The CCPA requires businesses like us to provide certain information to California consumers. We fully describe our practices to all our members and visitors in our Privacy Policy, but use this separate notice to ensure that we meet the CCPA’s requirements. This notice contains the following four parts:
You Can Opt Out of Our Sharing Your Personal Information. We Do Not Sell Your Personal Information.
- Your CCPA Rights
- The CCPA Categories of Personal Information We Collect and the Sources
- The CCPA Categories of Personal Information We Disclose for a “Business Purpose”
1. You Can Opt Out of Our Sharing Your Personal Information. We Do Not Sell Your Personal Information.
If you are a LinkedIn member, click here to opt out of sharing. Guests can opt out by visiting guest controls. In addition to these controls, in the U.S. we will automatically opt you out of sharing if we receive a Global Privacy Control signal from you that reflects your choice to opt-out of sharing.
The CCPA requires us to disclose if we share your personal information. We may share your personal information, including information about your visits to LinkedIn, with our partners in order to market LinkedIn’s services to you on other platforms. If you are a member, we may also share your personal information with Microsoft to personalize the ads they show you off of LinkedIn.
We do not sell your personal information.
2. Your Rights Under the CCPA
The CCPA provides Californians with the following rights:
2.1 Requests for Information
Like all of our members, you (or your authorized agent) can request a copy of your personal information. Under the CCPA, you can also request that we disclose how we have collected, used, and disclosed your personal information over the past 12 months, including the categories of personal information we collected and our purposes for doing so; the categories of sources for that information; the categories of third parties with whom we shared it or disclosed it for a business purpose and our purposes for doing so. Companies that sell personal information (we do not) must make additional disclosures.
If you are not a LinkedIn member, you can submit your request here.
2.2 Your Right to Opt Out of Sales
We do not sell personal information, so we don’t have an opt out.
2.3 Your Right to Opt Out of Sharing
Under the CCPA, you can opt out of the sharing of your personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. You can direct us not to share your personal information as described in Section 1.
2.4 Your Right to Limit the Use of Sensitive Personal Information
Under the CCPA, you can limit a business’s use and disclosure of your sensitive personal information to certain purposes specified by law (e.g., providing you with services you request or preventing fraud, or for other purposes that don’t involve deriving your attributes). We only use sensitive personal information for such permitted purposes, so we don’t have an opt-out.
