At LinkedIn, we believe trust is essential to delivering on our core value of putting members first. With respect to data, we feel that it is our duty to facilitate an open and honest information flow to underscore control, consistency and clarity for each and every member.
To achieve this goal, we've created Government Data Request summaries to show the number of government requests for information about our members. We firmly believe that providing this information supports our ongoing effort to be forthright and clear, and will help contribute to the ongoing dialogue regarding the appropriate role of and response to government requests.
Note: A single request may ask for data regarding more than one member.
