Authenticity matters. On LinkedIn, when you show that you're the real you, you'll have an even greater chance of finding the professional opportunities that matter to you and your community.

However I'm not a GDPR expert (by any means), but here, is it me that they say everything but stop short of saying that they are GDPR (and in turn DPA2018) compliant? Especially when they then carry on saying "Please note, these rights are not absolute, and exercising them may require us to cancel your membership." Maybe someone can correct me here.

 

But then again, it's not aimed at the UK/EU market, just the US market at the moment...
