PCPD Reminds LinkedIn Users to Beware of the Use of Their Personal Data for GenAI Models Training

The PCPD is concerned about whether LinkedIn’s default opt-in setting for using users’ personal data to train generative AI models correctly reflects users’ choices. The PCPD has therefore written to LinkedIn to enquire into the matter.

LinkedIn users should beware of the updates in LinkedIn’s privacy policy and understand the relevant policy in order to decide if they agree to allow LinkedIn to use their personal data for training AI models. 

If users of LinkedIn are unwilling to authorise LinkedIn to use their personal data for training generative AI models, they can revoke the permission by following the steps (https://www.linkedin.com/mypreferences/d/categories/privacy).
