2. User Control (Access, Deletion, and Changes):
The policy allows users to access their personal information and provides options to modify or delete it. However, it lacks clear instructions on how users can exercise these rights. The policy does mention the ability to opt-out of certain data collection and sharing practices.
3. Third-party Sharing (Limits and Consent):

4. Security Measures:
The policy describes the security measures in place to protect users’ personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. It ensures the commitment to maintaining the security of users’ data.
5. Notification of Changes:

The LinkedIn privacy policy mainly meets the criteria for transparency, user control, third-party sharing, security measures, notification of changes, and readability.

Overall, it offers decent privacy protection but has room for improvement.
