• Profile data: Connections, companies followed, education, personal skills, employer, job information 
• Activity data: Inferred city location, professional interests, age range, gender 
• Third-party data: Personalized ads present on a user’s feed, interactions with businesses (i.e., user’s information they’ve shared with businesses to get more relevant ads)

Users can also determine the visibility of their profile: 

• Change who can see their email address, connections, members they follow, and their last name 
• Change their profile visibility off LinkedIn (who can see a profile when searching a user’s name in Google, for example)

• Nudges about messages they haven’t yet seen 
• LinkedIn’s automated processes to find policy violations in messages (i.e., if there is harassment or inappropriate language in a message that the user received) 

For connection controls, users can choose whether they want: 

• Connection invites from every user on LinkedIn, only users who know their email address or are in their “Imported Contacts” list (i.e., contact list imported from email or phone if authorized by user), OR only users in “Imported Contacts” 
• LinkedIn page, event, or newsletter invites from other users 
• Research invites (i.e., LinkedIn or third-party entities can send a user product feedback surveys or market research invites)
