LinkedIn Privacy Changes!

 

Important LinkedIn privacy policy change!
For those of you who did not know yet: LinkedIn changed their privacy policy and is now allowed to use your name and photo for commercial use. So your name and photo could appear in an advert of LinkedIn without your explicit prior consent. Maybe this is OK with you, then you don’t have to do anything, but if this is not OK with you I advise you to follow the next steps:


1. Take your cursor to the right top of the page where your name is displayed and a small pop-up menu will appear. Click on “settings”
2. Click on “Account” (left bottom of the page)
3. Click on "Manage Social Advertising"
4. Uncheck "LinkedIn may use my name & photo in social advertising"
5. And save your settings!


Please inform other LinkedIn users you know!
