California Privacy Disclosure | LinkedIn (original) (raw)

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.

2.5 Your Right to Notification

Under the CCPA, a business like LinkedIn cannot collect new categories of personal information or use them for materially different purposes without first notifying you.

2.6 Nondiscrimination for Exercising Your CCPA Rights

The CCPA prohibits businesses from discriminating against you for exercising your rights under the law. Such discrimination may include denying services, charging different prices or rates for services, providing a different level or quality of services, or suggesting that you will receive a different level or quality of goods or services as a result of exercising your rights.

2.7 Your Right to Correct Inaccurate Personal Information

Like all of our members, you can edit much of your personal information through your LinkedIn account (such as your profile information). You can also request that we correct inaccurate personal information.

2.8 Your Right to Delete Personal Information

Like all of our members, you can request that we delete your personal information by closing your LinkedIn account or by requesting that we delete specific information about you. We honor such requests unless an exception applies, such as when the information is necessary to complete the transaction or contract for which it was collected or when information is being used to detect, prevent, or investigate security incidents, comply with laws, identify and repair bugs, or ensure another consumer’s ability to exercise their free speech rights or other rights provided by law.

2.10 Statement Regarding Selling or Sharing the Personal Information of Consumers Under Age 16

CCPA regulations require us to state whether we have actual knowledge that we have sold or shared the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age. As stated in our user agreement, LinkedIn services are not for use by anyone under the age of 16. We do not knowingly provide services to anyone under the age of 16 nor do we have actual knowledge that we sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.
