How private mode works on LinkedIn

Browse the profiles of various members in private mode on LinkedIn, and they won't see your name or any other information about you. If you also use the free standard mode, then it is also not apparent to you who has viewed your profile. If you use the paid premium mode, you can see a list of people who have viewed your profile within the last 90 days. Blocking or revealing the name is also not possible in private mode. The private mode can be set with just a few clicks.
