You receive a message in LinkedIn chat from a complete stranger.
Without any prior interaction.
Without a connection.
Without any interest on your part.
Just a direct offer, an attached PDF, a link to a website, or an invitation to a webinar.
And you wonder – why is this person even sending me this? This isn't just inappropriate.
In most cases, it's against the law – and this applies to social networks like LinkedIn as well. Be equally careful when you search for someone and save their email or phone number from their profile.
It sounds innocent.
But even this can be an invasion of privacy – and in extreme cases, a GDPR violation. That's why we've prepared a simple overview with a law firm on how to stay compliant on LinkedIn.
Whether you're doing business, building influence, or just developing your professional network.
