LinkedIn’s iOS and Android apps use calendar event details to identify profiles of people with whom users of the apps are scheduled to meet. Security vendor Skycure Security analyzed how this feature works and found it sends the information back to LinkedIn’s servers. This poses a serious privacy risk because some of the collected information can be highly sensitive. In light of the privacy concerns, LinkedIn has decided to stop collecting calendar meeting notes and to add a “learn more” link inside its mobile apps to provide detailed information about how calendar data is being used.”]
