LinkedIn builds a remarkably detailed professional and personal profile from everything you do on and off the platform — including inferred age, gender, salary, and seniority — then shares it with Microsoft, advertisers, and third-party partners. Your data persists even after account closure, your public activity is fed into Microsoft's broader ad ecosystem, and there is no way to opt out of non-personalised ads.
