Your 1st-degree connections may sync their LinkedIn account to their account on a partner service and see your connections on that service unless you opt out of profile visibility on partner services.
-
By default, advertisers can serve ads specifically to the connections of a company's employees, but advertisers can't see these connections (except to the extent they may be personally connected to you, as described above). You can stop advertisers from serving such ads to your connections (to the extent they are not also the connections of other employees at your company), by selecting No/Off under Connections.
-
You cannot selectively hide your connections list from people hiding theirs.
-
You cannot remove all new connection updates from your connections in your feed.
-
If you use Sales Navigator or are opted into TeamLink, additional steps are required if you want to hide all connection visibility.
