Conclusion

Deciding whether to keep your email address private or public is of utmost importance on LinkedIn and other social media platforms, where information is easily accessible and shared. In some cases, when generic email addresses are used, you may want to keep them public. When using personal email addresses for LinkedIn that are also associated with your bank accounts, it is best to keep them private.
