LinkedIn accounts that are no longer active may be deactivated by LinkedIn after a certain period of inactivity. Deactivated accounts are not visible to other users and cannot be accessed by the account holder. Additionally, LinkedIn may delete accounts that violate their terms of service.
LinkedIn has a specific policy for account deactivation and deletion. According to LinkedIn, they may deactivate an account if it has been inactive for an extended period of time. They may also delete an account if it is found to be in violation of their terms of service.
Deactivated accounts are not visible to other LinkedIn users and cannot be accessed by the account holder. The account holder will also lose any connections and content associated with the account.
If a LinkedIn user wants to reactivate a deactivated account, they can contact LinkedIn Support and request reactivation. However, if an account is deleted, it cannot be recovered and the user will need to create a new account.
It is worth noting that LinkedIn allows you to download a copy of your data from the account before you decide to delete it. This can be done by going to settings and privacy, then select data and privacy.
In addition to deactivating or deleting accounts that have been inactive or violate their terms of service, LinkedIn also has the ability to suspend accounts. Suspended accounts are temporarily blocked from accessing the platform and can be suspended for a variety of reasons such as spamming, harassment, or posting content that violates LinkedIn's guidelines.
When an account is suspended, the account holder will receive an email from LinkedIn explaining the reason for the suspension and instructions on how to appeal the decision if they believe it was made in error. If an account is suspended, it will be reactivated after the suspension period if the account holder addresses the issue that led to the suspension.
It's worth noting that LinkedIn reserves the right to terminate an account at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including, but not limited to, violation of the User Agreement or the Professional Community Guidelines.
In summary, LinkedIn accounts that are no longer active may be deactivated, deleted or suspended, depending on the circumstances. It's important to keep in mind that LinkedIn's terms of service, community guidelines, and professional conduct are expected to be adhered to, to maintain an active account.
