LinkedIn collects extensive professional data including your career history, skills, connections, messages, and job search activity. As a Microsoft property, this data integrates with a vast corporate ecosystem.
Zero-knowledge encryption. No phone number. Every conversation protected.
LinkedIn knows your salary expectations, job search status, professional weaknesses (skills you lack), and career ambitions. This data is valuable to employers, recruiters, and competitors. Data breaches have exposed millions of profiles.
