Is LinkedIn paying you to use your name & photo in their ads???
Without attracting too much publicity, LinkedIn has updated their privacy conditions that now permit them to use your name and picture in any of their advertisements … unless you “opt-out”
(See ch. 2 of their privacy policy: http://www.linkedin.com/static?key=privacy_policy&trk=hb_ft_priv)
If you are looking to opt-out …
- Place the cursor on your name at the top right corner of the screen. From the small pull down menu that appears, select “settings”
- Then click “Account” on the left/bottom
- In the column next to Account, select the option “Manage Social Advertising”
- Finally un-tick the box “LinkedIn may use my name and photo in social advertising”
- and Save
