As a result, Google said that “these Terms of Service help define Google’s relationship with you as you interact with our services. For example, these terms include the following topic headings:
“What you can expect from us, which describes how we provide and develop our services
“What we expect from you, which establishes certain rules for using our services
“Content in Google services, which describes the intellectual property rights to the content you find in our services — whether that content belongs to you, Google, or others
“In case of problems or disagreements, which describes other legal rights you have, and what to expect in case someone violates these terms.”

Understanding these terms, Google pointed out, is important because, “by using our services, you’re agreeing to these terms.”

She outlined some of the details worthy of note to include that they are making it even easier to understand the data we have about you, how you can correct it and how you can ask us to stop using it. “Our new settings give you more control over ads you see and more transparency about the data shared with advertisers,” she said.

According to her, refreshed community policies make sure LinkedIn stays a platform where people act professionally. “Built from our well-established community guidelines, these policies encourage discussions that can help our members be more productive and successful, and outline what activity may be stopped by LinkedIn,” she said. LinkedIn maintained that users privacy comes first in all of these updates. “We now meet the high standard for data privacy introduced by the new European data protection law known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which goes into effect later in May.
