How To Request Your Data From LinkedIn

Every time you use LinkedIn your data is saved. If you want to see your data you can easily make a request and LinkedIn will email a file to you. You can select specific categories of data or a larger download. Some data is available in 10 minutes and other data is available in 24 hours. In today's newsletter I show you how to request your data from LinkedIn and describe what data they will send to you.

1) Why you might want to request your data

1. Data Analysis and Insights: You may want to analyze your LinkedIn data to gain insights into your professional network, engagement metrics, job applications, and overall performance on the platform. This can help you identify patterns and areas for improvement.
2. Personal Records: Having a personal copy of your data allows you to maintain records of your professional interactions, connections, endorsements, recommendations, and other important information.
3. Account Management: Reviewing your data can help you manage identify outdated or irrelevant information, clean up connections, or understand how you profile has evolved over time.
