Privacy Policy

What we collect, why, where it lives and the choices you have. Effective January 1, 2026 · Last updated October 10, 2026 · Version 3.0.

We never sell your data

We don't sell or rent personal data, or share your content with advertisers or data brokers.

Your posts power only you

Your LinkedIn posts are used only to match your own writing style. No cross-user training.

AI providers don't train on it

Our AI providers process requests under API terms that don't use your data to train their models.

Payments stay with Chargebee

Card details are entered on Chargebee's hosted checkout and never reach our servers.

Stored in India

Our database, files and AI style data are hosted in AWS Mumbai (ap-south-1).

You stay in control

Ask for a copy of your data, a correction or deletion at any time.

Chrome Web Store Limited Use. LinkAssist's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We use this data only to provide and improve the core functionality of the LinkAssist extension and platform.

  • Storage permission: caches your sign-in token and preferences locally.
  • ActiveTab and scripting permissions: read a post only when you trigger the AI assistant, and insert the reply you choose into the comment box.
  • Website content access: captures post text and media only when you use "Save to Swipe File".

We do not monitor your browsing history or collect data from websites other than LinkedIn and our own service domains.

  • Health information.
  • Your LinkedIn messages or DMs.
  • Private information about your connections.
  • Posts you view but don't interact with.
  • Location beyond the region implied by your IP address.

4.How we use your information

  • Service delivery: generating LinkedIn posts, comments and ideas, and publishing what you schedule.
  • Personalisation: building your User DNA and writing style from your own posts.
  • Account and billing: managing your account and subscription, and processing payments through Chargebee.
  • Communication: service updates, billing notices, product emails and support replies. You can unsubscribe from product emails at any time.

AI and your data

  • We send the prompts needed for each request to our AI providers: Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI and Google (Gemini) for writing and images, and Perplexity and Tavily for web research.
  • These providers process API requests under terms that do not use your data to train their models. They may keep request logs for a limited period (typically up to 30 days) for safety and abuse monitoring.
  • We analyse your LinkedIn posts only to match your writing style. Your style data is stored in our own database and is never shared with other users.
  • Your data never trains a model for anyone else.

5.Who we share it with

We share data only with the service providers that run LinkAssist, and only what each one needs.

9.Common questions

Do you sell my data? No. We never sell, rent or share personal data with advertisers, data brokers or third parties, except the service providers in Section 5.

Is my LinkedIn data used to train AI for other users? No. Your posts are analysed only to match your own writing style.

Where is my data stored? In AWS Mumbai, India: our database, files and style data. AI requests are processed by the providers in Section 4, mainly in the United States.

Do you store my card details? No. You enter them on Chargebee's hosted checkout, and Chargebee and its payment partners process them.

How long do you keep my data after I delete my account? 30 days for recovery, then it's permanently deleted. Encrypted backups are overwritten within 90 days, and invoices are kept for 7 years as Indian tax law requires.

Are you SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified? Not yet. Our infrastructure and billing providers, including AWS, MongoDB Atlas and Chargebee, hold these certifications, and we follow industry best practices.
