It’s not anonymous in a sense that I’m going to see your linkedin profile. I could have found your profile on my own if I wanted to (that’s what LinkedIn is for in the first place).

What’s important is that I’m not going to see the numbers you entered.

Also, since I’m verifying every registration (in half-automated/half-manual way), and it takes about 20 seconds to do the verification, I cannot possibly remember who I’ve seen and what profiles do they have. (simply because I’m human).

Additionally, what is important is for what purposes you allow me to process your data. And the only purpose for this LinkedIn data is to verify your company name, job title, and location. Once that is done, the data gets removed or disassociated from your account, which means that it can no longer be meaningfully processed (anonymized), and since I don’t have your permission to do any other types of processing—I won’t.

EDIT: So what is anonymous are the salary numbers—and that is what I’m talking about on the landing page.
