How to Turn on Privacy Mode on LinkedIn
Use this step-by-step demo to learn how to turn on privacy mode on LinkedIn.
📌 Why this matters
Privacy mode lets you research profiles without leaving your digital footprint, which means you can scout competitors, potential hires, or business prospects without alerting them to your interest. Beyond basic anonymity, this creates strategic advantage during negotiations or job searches. When you're exploring someone's background before a deal or checking out a company before applying, staying invisible preserves your position. Your profile views become intelligence gathering rather than relationship signals, giving you information without commitment or premature disclosure of your intentions.
