Does LinkedIn share/sell users' personal data?

# data[].attributes.body
Sort of...LinkedIn will not share user data with others, but users are responsible for setting their own privacy settings for their profile.  They do need user permission to share certain profile information and have some additional exceptions.

Please see below regarding LinkedIn's privacy policy language:

"We do not share your personal data with any third-party advertisers or ad networks for their advertising except for:

hashed or device identifiers (to the extent they are personal data in some countries)

with your separate permission (e.g., lead generation form) or

data already visible to any users of the Services (e.g. profile)."

User's data can also be tracked by their behavior i.e. clicking on ads (third-parties can track users through cookies).

"Advertising partners can associate personal data collected by the advertiser directly from you with our cookies and similar technologies. In such instances, we seek to contractually require such advertising partners to obtain your explicit, opt-in consent before doing so."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Our Terms of Service, which includes our User Agreement, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and Professional Community Policies, is getting an update effective May 8, 2018. Anytime we make changes to our terms, we hope to make it easy for you - our members - to understand the changes, and the choices and control you have over your data and content.

# data[].attributes.body
Users own the content and information that they submit or post to the Services.  It will not be included in ads or sponsored content, unless Linked In "gets" consent from the user.

However, they do grant LinkedIn the following rights in regards to content:

A worldwide, transferable and sublicensable right to use, copy, modify, distribute, publish, and process, information and content that users provide "without any further consent, notice and/or compensation to you or others."

if users choose to share a post as "public", LinkedIn members can embed that public post onto third-party services, and that allows search engines to make that public content findable though their services.

LinkedIn "may edit and make format changes to user content (such as translating it, modifying the size, layout or file type or removing metadata)." They "will not modify the meaning of the user's expression."

How to end LinkedIn's license to content:
Users can end the license by deleting the content or closing their account. However, if content has been re-shared or copied by others, it may not be able to be removed.

# data[].attributes.body
Users must be at least 16 years old (unless you live in a country that has a higher minimum age law, in which users must abide by the older age.

Users must represent themselves as it's a profile-based tool. That means that students cannot register even with parental consent or under a teacher.

"Creating an account with false information is a violation of our terms, including accounts registered on behalf of others or persons under the age of 16."
