How to protect your privacy on LinkedIn
If you think that because business social-networking site LinkedIn doesn't let you share as much as information as sites such as Facebook, and the privacy settings are more straightforward, you'd be wrong.
In fact, if you leave LinkedIn's default settings in place, you might be surprised to know what information you make public on LinkedIn. How private you decide to make your LinkedIn information will affect the inquiries you receive for job opportunities as well as, in some cases, the amount of information you're able to find about others.
To access the privacy settings, simply log in to LinkedIn and click on the Account & Settings tab in the upper righthand corner of your home page.
