There are a lot of settings and privacy settings both once you get to that area of LinkedIn. To start, log in to your LinkedIn account on a Web browser and go to “ Settings & Privacy” off the main menu: And that, as they say in song lyrics, is a long time.įortunately you can check app access on your LinkedIn account with just a few clicks, and with one additional click remove that access, whether it’s been there for a few days or a decade. Once granted permission, these apps have access to your data forever. So the real security risk comes from sites you enabled months or even years ago and have since forgotten about entirely. You can’t tell Facebook that a site can access your profile information for two weeks and then have it automatically disabled, or Twitter or LinkedIn. The problem with all of these sites, however, is that there’s never a timed access. Overall, however, LinkedIn is pretty cautious with your personal data and doesn’t just grant third party apps access without you being actively involved. Well, except for Microsoft Word, that is, but we’ll come back to that.
In fact, you must have at some point granted these other sites or apps permission to access your data. You are correct that LinkedIn allows other applications and Web sites access to your personal profile and data, but it’s a bit unfair to suggest that you don’t have control over the situation.
