Thanks Jasmine, that was very useful. I was not that surprised to see that my
account was set to share all my information with everyone...

Hi All
I've received an email from a friend warning of some recent changes to privacy
settings on LinkedIn.
It seems to be genuine as I've logged in to the site and found similar messages
when reading through my account settings.
If you're a LinkedIn user you might want to review your own settings and decide
if the changes are acceptable to you or not.
Personally, I get quite annoyed when sites and service introduce changes
quietly that use your personal information and the default settings for the new
features are set for the highest level of sharing rather than the lowest.

Dear all, this is genuine so please read below!
Apologies if you've already seen this but Linkedin have very quietly introduced
some new settings that potentially seriously affect your privacy and your
ability to prevent unwanted emails (spam). These new settings are defaulted ON
and include allowing Linkedin to use profile information, names and photos in
third party advertising. Please see the links below for opting out. You might
want to consider alerting your contacts on Linkedin.
To reach the hard-to-reach settings options the following URL's should take you
directly to them (cut and paste into your browser if they don't work as live
links)
Manage social advertising:
https://www.linkedin.com/settings/?modal=nsettings-social-advertising&tab=account
Manage enhanced advertising:
https://www.linkedin.com/settings/?modal=nsettings-enhanced-advertising&tab=account
Data sharing with third party applications:
https://www.linkedin.com/settings/?modal=nsettings-data-sharing&tab=groups
Partner InMail:
https://www.linkedin.com/settings/?modal=nsettings-partner-inmail&tab=email
It is worthwhile checking your settings and deciding what you do not want!
