LinkedIn privacy settings

[clep3705]

Today LinkedIn suggested that I might know one of the frequent posters in these forums. Just to set the proper context, it is a person with whom I've exchanged personal emails directly. She has my email address and I have hers. But currently LinkedIn has no access to my personal address book. I hope it hasn't had access in the past, but I've had the account so long I really can't prove that.

Could LinkedIn have made the suggestion by mining her email address book? If her email address book is shared with her LinkedIn account, maybe my name in her email address book could prompt a suggestion in my LinkedIn account that she is someone I might know.

Here is how to keep LinkedIn from snooping in your personal address books: https://help.linkedin.com/app/answers/de...376/ft/eng Of course if won't undo the damage already done.
