As with most features on LinkedIn, when you engage with our platform we collect and use (or process) data about your use of the platform, including personal data. This could include your use of the generative AI (AI models used to create content) or other AI features, your posts and articles, how frequently you use LinkedIn, your language preference, and any feedback you may have provided to our teams. We use this data, consistent with our Privacy Policy, to improve or develop the LinkedIn services (see Section 2). Note that we do not currently train content-generating AI models from members located in the EU, EEA, UK, Switzerland, Hong Kong, or Mainland China.

Providing a service to members and customers: Members or customers may provide personal data as an input to a generative AI powered feature, which could result in personal data being provided as an output. For example, if a member used our generative AI ”Writing Suggestions” feature to help write an article about the best advice they got from their mentors, they may include the names of those mentors in the input. The resulting output from the generative AI ”Writing Suggestions” feature may include those names, which that member can edit or revise before deciding to post.

Inputs by LinkedIn: Where LinkedIn controls the input for a generative AI powered feature, depending on the feature, we may process your personal data. For example, if you choose to use “Profile Writing Suggestions,” we will use (or process) the relevant data on your profile to generate the suggested text, which you then can review, edit and decide whether to add it to your profile. Another example is when we recommend “Suggested Posts,” we may summarize your post content including any personal data you included in the post.

Feedback and Improvement: When you choose to provide feedback for a generative AI powered feature, we may associate your feedback with you and use it to improve or modify our platform and products.

Safety, Security and Compliance: We leverage a variety of automated techniques, including generative AI powered tools, as part of our effort to keep our services safe, secure and compliant with our user terms, policies and applicable law. In connection with this important work, we may process personal data, including personal data sourced from our services.
