I haven’t tried to log into my account for a few weeks because LinkedIn is a cesspool. When I logged in just now (with a passkey, btw), it brought me to this page.
I’ve had this account for over a decade and used it to get my current position. I don’t want to use LinkedIn, but it’s pretty much a requirement in my industry.
I’m not sure if I should cave or what. I read the privacy policy for Persona’s ID verification and it states that the data is immediately destroyed after verification, or held for three years.
This shit should be fucking illegal, and yet, in much of the world, it’s being made enforced legislation. Fuck any company and politician that supports, funds, or operates this bullshit.
So which is it?
Neither. It’s never destroyed because you can’t prove otherwise. At best it’s given to authorities within three years to free up storage space.
It’s both destroyed and exists, until a data breach happens, in which case it definitely exists
Schrodinger’s personal data
If it was destroyed after verification they wouldn’t have been able to leak the personal IDs of millions of users just a few months ago.
Deleted is set to true in that record.
The classic “Mark as deleted”
Its deleted in your country but store safely offshore
