Visibility of Your Email Address | LinkedIn Help (2024)

By default, the primary email address you've registered with LinkedIn is only visible to your direct connections on LinkedIn. If the direct connection connects their LinkedIn account with approved apps and services, like Outlook, they will be able to view your email address in those services by default. Your primary email address will also be visible to people who are your email contacts or vice versa.

You can change who can see your email address from your Settings & Privacy page.

We will not share your email address with another member unless both of you choose to contact one another or your above settings indicate you are open to others seeing your email address.

Note: To avoid unwanted invitations or emails and to comply with LinkedIn User Agreement, email addresses should not be entered anywhere else on your profile.
