The DPC will continue to actively monitor LinkedIn’s rollout of this processing to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to take control of their personal data. Users should have received notifications from LinkedIn advising them on how they can assert their right to object under the GDPR by opting out of their personal data being used for the purpose of training LinkedIn’s AI models. This can be done either via a dedicated toggle/switch within users’ account settings, or alternatively via LinkedIn’s Data Processing Objection Form. We remind all individuals using internet platforms to regularly review their privacy settings and controls so that these continue to reflect their personal preferences.
