Welcome to your data! Attached you'll find information that LinkedIn has for your account. This document explains what each category of data is so you can better understand your report. If any of the files are blank, that means we don't have any data from your account in that category. Because we have retention limits on certain data, we may not have a record of everything you've ever done, but these files show you what we have stored right now. ACCOUNT STATUS HISTORY In this file you can see the date and time your LinkedIn account was created, closed, or reopened. AD TARGETING This file contains information we use to figure out what ads to show you. Some of the targeting data may be derived from other information you've given us, for example like using your title to infer your seniority. ADS CLICKED This file has the ads you've clicked on. COMMENTS This file is a record of the comments that you've made, excluding comments on group posts. It includes the date, the URL where it was posted, your comment, the item you commented on, and what kind of content it was (e.g. articles, shares, new positions, etc.). CONNECTIONS This file contains the connections you have on LinkedIn. EMAILS This file contains all of the email addresses that you've ever used on LinkedIn. It also shows which one is the primary email address where you're receiving communications. ENDORSEMENT INFO This file contains a list of everyone who's endorsed you, the skill they endorsed you for, and the date of the endorsement. If you accepted the member's endorsement, the "Endorsement Status" will say, "accepted". If you hid the endorsement from your profile later, it'll say "hidden". Rejected endorsements are automatically hidden. GROUP COMMENTS This file has all of the comments you posted in Groups. It includes your comment, the title of the discussion you commented on, the name of the group, and the URL linking to the discussion. GROUP LIKES This file contains all of the posts you "liked" in Groups. GROUP POSTS This file contains all the posts you started in Groups. It includes the post titles, the posts themselves, the time you posted, the group name, and a link to the discussion. LIKES This file contains the updates you "liked" except for in Groups. It includes the date you liked the update, the type of post, the title of the post, and the content of the post, if there is one. It also includes the URL of the post, if there is one. LOGIN ATTEMPTS This file shows all the stored login attempts for your account. It includes the application that you were using when you tried to login (called "the user agent"), the IP address of the computer, the assumed country based on the IP address, date, and what type of login it was. "Website Login" indicates that you attempted to sign in using either the LinkedIn website or a LinkedIn mobile app. "Third Party Login" indicates an attempted login from another site using OAuth, for example using a "login with Linkedin" button elsewhere on the web. When we are unable to determine the information about the login attempt, we simply use "Login". MOBILE APPLICATIONS This file contains the LinkedIn applications you've downloaded to your mobile device that we have registered with your account. It also shows the dates they were registered.
