Online privacy has been a hot-button issue of late, and LinkedIn is doing its part to address users’ concerns, announcing two changes to its privacy policy.
The professional networking site will now allow users to opt out of being mentioned in ads generated by their recommendations of products or services on company pages, and LinkedIn said user names and images will not be provided to advertisers.
And starting in August, users who share content with their networks using LinkedIn’s professional plug-ins will be able to opt out of sharing any information with LinkedIn when those plug-ins load.
A full revision to LinkedIn’s user agreement and privacy policy will be available later this week.
