We use the data that we have about you to provide and personalize our Services, including with the help of automated systems and inferences we make, so that our Services (including ads) can be more relevant and useful to you and others.

Our Services allow you to stay informed about professional topics you care about, from professionals you respect. Our Services also allow you to improve your professional knowledge, or learn new things. We use the data we have about you (e.g., data you provide, data we collect from your engagement with our Services and inferences we make from the data we have about you), to personalize our Services for you, such as by recommending or ranking relevant content on our Services. We also use the data we have about you to suggest knowledge you might want to pursue your next opportunity. So, if you let us know that you are interested in something (e.g., by watching a learning video), we will use this information to personalize content for you or suggest related learning content to help you towards a new skill.
2.2 Advertising
We target (and measure the performance of) ads to Members and others both on and off our Services directly or through a variety of partners, using the data we collect about you when you engage with our Services. We do not share your personal data with any third-party advertisers or ad networks except for: (i) with your separate permission (e.g., in a lead generation form) or (ii) data already visible to any users of the Services (e.g., profile).

- How We Share Information
3.1 Our Services
Your employer can see how you use our Services they provided for your work and related information. We will not show them your other personal information. Your employer may offer you access to our enterprise Services. Your employer can review and manage your use of such enterprise Services.
3.2 Related Services
We will share your personal data with our affiliates to provide and develop our Services. We may combine information internally across the different Services covered by this Privacy Policy to help our Services be more relevant and useful to you and others. For example, we may personalize your recommendations based on your learning history.
3.3 Legal Disclosures
It is possible that we will need to disclose information about you when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (1) investigate, prevent or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities or to assist government enforcement agencies; (2) enforce our agreements with you; (3) investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations; (4) protect the security or integrity of our Services (such as by sharing with companies facing similar threats); or (5) exercise or protect the rights and safety of us, our Affiliates, our Members, personnel or others. We attempt to notify Members about legal demands for their personal data when appropriate in our judgment, unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency.

3.4 Change in Control or Sale
We can also share your personal data as part of a sale, merger or change in control, or in preparation for any of these events. Any other entity which buys us or part of our business will have the right to continue to use your data, but only in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy unless you agree otherwise.
