To do this, we use the information that you provide on your LinkedIn profile as well as information about your activity on LinkedIn (such as your connections, the companies you follow and the content you engage with) as well as data about your use of some of the other services provided by us or our affiliates, including Microsoft. We use this information to make inferences about you (for example, if you follow different technology companies and have many connections who work in the technology sector, we may infer that you are interested in technology). We then show you ads for jobs, products or services that are relevant to people with those interests. We also compare your profile to that of other Members and we show you ads for jobs, products or services that are relevant to Members with similar profiles. Doing this means that the ads you see are more likely to contain content you are interested in, which advances our legitimate interests and those of our Members in ensuring we can offer LinkedIn as a free service, and to meet LinkedIn’s customers’ interests in ensuring they can advertise jobs, products or services to Members that will be interested in them. When we use personal data provided by third parties such as LinkedIn customers to show you ads, we require opt-in consent from residents of the European Union, EEA, or Switzerland. You can control how we use your personal data for this type of advertising <a rel="" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20231223155657/https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/advertising-data" target="_blank">here</a>. </div> </div> </li> <li class="article-content__unordered-list-item t-14"> <div class="article-content__unordered-list-item-wrapper" data-test-selector="unorderedListItem-wrapper"> <div class="t-14 article-content__rich-text hue-default-color article-content__rich-text--in-list" data-test-selector="preRenderedMarkup-container"> We also use your personal data to create aggregated reports about how Members interact with our customers’ websites and ads on and off LinkedIn. We count the number of Members with certain characteristics that engaged with our customers’ content, and we aggregate that data to provide customers with insights. For example, we might inform a customer that 500 Members who are lawyers visited their website in the past month, and that 800 Members who are accountants clicked on one of their ads. (Our reports do not identify or single out specific individual Members.). This supports customers’ interests in understanding the categories of professionals that engage with their content without identifying individual members. In turn, this helps customers adapt their content to make them more suitable for the types of professionals they are interested in connecting with, while having a minimal impact on our members’ privacy.
