Personal Information

As it concerns privacy, there is one feature under the personal information section to consider: "name & location." Your connections will always see your first and last name, but if you wanted to set it so other people on LinkedIn can't see your full name (just your first name and the initial of your last name), you can do so here.

The All-Important Privacy Section

Unlike most social networks that solely rely on advertisements for their revenue streams, LinkedIn sells premium services to individuals and organizations looking to utilize the vast database of LinkedIn user data.
