The Settings page allows you to manage your LinkedIn account settings, update your privacy and security settings, and set your preferences for how frequently you’re contacted. At the top of the page, you’ll also see an overview of your account details, including your profile headline, number of connections, and what Premium accounts you currently have, if any.

The Settings page is organized into six sections to help you easily view and modify your account information, privacy preferences, ads settings, and communication notifications.

  • Account preferences: Manage your basic profile information for your LinkedIn experience, networking, subscriptions, and more.
  • Sign in & security: Manage the settings that keep your account secure.
  • Visibility: Control who can see your profile, network, and LinkedIn activity.
  • Data Privacy: Configure privacy and security settings related to how LinkedIn uses your data, job seeking preferences, and other applications. You’re also able to manage your messages and download your account data.
  • Advertising data: Control the information that LinkedIn uses to show you relevant ads by adjusting your account’s ads settings.
  • Notifications: Enable or disable the types of notifications you want to receive and how often you wish to receive them.
