1. Overview
Linkees ("Linkees", "we", "us", or "our") is a professional relationship-intelligence platform designed to help users discover potential professional paths to people they want to reach. Depending on the features available to you, Linkees may use information that you authorize us to access from supported third-party services, including LinkedIn, to provide relationship discovery, path recommendations, and introduction assistance.
We are committed to handling personal information responsibly, transparently, and only for legitimate product purposes. We aim to follow principles of data minimization, purpose limitation, security, user control, and privacy by design.
Linkees does not ask for your LinkedIn password. Where a LinkedIn integration is available, authorization is performed through the applicable official authorization mechanism and only the permissions available to our approved integration may be requested.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide
We may collect information you voluntarily provide, such as:
- Name and account information.
- Email address or other contact information used to create or manage your account.
- Networking objectives and preferences.
- Targets or professionals you choose to search for or save.
- Information you enter when requesting an introduction or generating a message.
- Feedback, support requests, and other communications you send to us.
2.2 Information From Connected Services
If you connect an external service, we may receive information made available to us through that service's approved API, authorization flow, and permissions. The exact information depends on the service, the permissions granted, the product tier available to Linkees, and the applicable terms.
2.3 Technical and Usage Information
We may automatically collect limited technical information, including:
- IP address and approximate network information.
- Browser and device type.
- Operating system and application version.
- Pages or features accessed.
- Dates and times of requests.
- Security, error, and diagnostic information.
2.4 Information We Do Not Intentionally Collect
Linkees does not intentionally request or collect passwords for third-party services, authentication cookies, or unrelated private information simply because such information might technically exist on a user's device or account.
3. LinkedIn Integration
Linkees is designed to support professional networking workflows involving LinkedIn, subject to the availability of official LinkedIn products, APIs, permissions, eligibility, contractual restrictions, and applicable law.
3.1 Authorization
When a LinkedIn connection is available, you may be asked to authorize Linkees through the applicable official LinkedIn authorization process. The authorization screen should identify the permissions requested and the information made available to the application.
3.2 What Linkees Can Access
Linkees only intends to access information that is actually made available to our application through an approved LinkedIn integration and that we are permitted to process for the relevant feature.
Linkees does not assume that an authorized user automatically gives us access to the entire LinkedIn social graph, another person's private data, or the connections of the user's connections.
3.3 Relationship Paths
The platform may attempt to identify potential paths between a user and a target using relationship information that is legitimately available to Linkees. A relationship path shown by Linkees is an algorithmic result based on available data; it is not a guarantee that the people shown personally know each other or will make an introduction.
3.4 No Unauthorized Scraping or Automation
Linkees is not designed to obtain LinkedIn information through unauthorized scraping, browser automation, credential collection, reverse engineering, or circumvention of LinkedIn technical or contractual controls.
3.5 Third-Party Terms
Your use of LinkedIn remains subject to LinkedIn's own terms, policies, and privacy practices. Linkees is an independent third-party service unless expressly stated otherwise. Nothing on this website should be interpreted as an endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation with LinkedIn unless such relationship has been formally established.
4. How We Use Information
We may use information for the following purposes:
- To create and maintain your Linkees account.
- To authenticate and secure your account.
- To provide relationship discovery and path-recommendation features.
- To identify and rank potential professional introduction paths.
- To generate introduction drafts at your request.
- To remember preferences and saved targets where those features are enabled.
- To provide customer support.
- To monitor, maintain, debug, and improve the service.
- To detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, and violations.
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.
4.1 Data Minimization
We aim to collect and process only the information reasonably necessary for the feature being provided. We do not intend to build unrestricted personal dossiers about users or targets.
4.2 Purpose Limitation
Information obtained through a third-party integration is intended to be used only for purposes permitted by the applicable integration, authorization, contractual terms, and law.
5. Artificial Intelligence and Recommendations
Linkees may use machine-learning and generative-AI technologies to interpret permitted relationship information, rank potential paths, explain recommendations, and draft introduction messages.
5.1 AI-Generated Results
AI outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or incorrect. AI-generated recommendations are not guaranteed facts and should be independently verified before you rely on them.
5.2 Relationship Inferences
A recommendation such as "Amit may be a strong connector" is an inference based on available signals. It does not mean that Linkees has independently verified the personal relationship between Amit and another person.
5.3 Human Control
Linkees is designed to keep the user in control of important outreach decisions. Where an introduction message is generated, you should review and edit it before taking action. Linkees does not guarantee that any message will be delivered, accepted, or answered.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, to provide the service, meet contractual or legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and maintain security.
| Category | General Retention Approach |
|---|---|
| Account information | Generally retained while your account remains active, subject to deletion requests and legal requirements. |
| Authorization information | Retained only as necessary to maintain the authorized integration and subject to applicable third-party requirements. |
| Relationship data | Retained only where necessary for an enabled feature and where its retention is permitted. |
| AI-generated content | Retained according to the feature's requirements and configured retention controls. |
| Security and audit logs | Retained for a reasonable period for security, debugging, compliance, and incident-response purposes. |
Specific retention periods may vary by data type, product feature, applicable law, and third-party platform requirements.
9. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
- HTTPS/TLS for data transmitted between supported clients and services.
- Access controls and authentication mechanisms.
- Secure handling of API credentials and authorization tokens.
- Environment and secret management.
- Logging and monitoring of security-relevant events.
- Rate limiting and abuse-prevention controls.
- Regular dependency and infrastructure maintenance.
- Restricted administrative access where appropriate.
No internet service can guarantee absolute security. If you believe your account or information has been compromised, contact us promptly using the details below.

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply to you, you may have rights regarding your personal information. These may include:
- Accessing personal information we hold about you.
- Requesting correction of inaccurate information.
- Requesting deletion of eligible information.
- Requesting restriction of certain processing.
- Objecting to certain processing.

The availability and scope of these rights depend on applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
11. Account and Data Deletion
You may request deletion of your Linkees account and eligible personal information. Where a self-service deletion option is available, you can initiate deletion from your account settings.

Certain information may be retained where required or permitted by law, for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, accounting, or other legitimate purposes. Where information is retained, access and use should remain limited to the purpose requiring retention.
12. Children's Privacy
Linkees is intended for professional networking and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children where prohibited by applicable law.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to us in violation of applicable requirements, please contact us so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.
13. International Data Transfers
Depending on where you use Linkees and where our service providers operate, your information may be processed in countries other than your country of residence.
Where required by applicable law, we will use appropriate safeguards for international transfers and consider applicable contractual, regulatory, and technical requirements.
14. Third-Party Services and Links
Linkees may integrate with or link to third-party services. Third parties have their own privacy policies and terms, and their practices are not controlled by Linkees.
Examples may include professional networking platforms, cloud infrastructure providers, authentication services, analytics providers, communication services, and AI providers. The actual third parties used by Linkees may change over time.
Before production launch, the operator should maintain an internal list of active processors and third-party integrations and update the public privacy disclosures when legally required.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the service, technology, law, third-party integrations, or our data practices.
When changes are material, we may provide additional notice through the service, email, or another appropriate method. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when this Policy was most recently revised.

Important Legal Review Note
This page is a product-ready privacy-policy template and should be treated as a starting point rather than legal advice. The final version should accurately reflect the actual Linkees implementation, the legal entity operating the service, the countries in which the service is offered, the categories of information actually processed, the exact third-party APIs and processors used, retention periods, user-rights procedures, and applicable privacy laws.
In particular, LinkedIn-related data processing should be reviewed against the current LinkedIn developer terms, product-specific requirements, permissions, data-use restrictions, retention requirements, and branding requirements before the integration is released to production.
