1. Who We Are
ChainLinked (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is a LinkedIn content management platform for individuals and teams, operated by HigherOps Inc. Our web application is available at chainlinked.ai and we publish the ChainLinked Data Connector Chrome extension (the “Extension”) on the Chrome Web Store.
Questions about this policy can be sent to support@higherops.io.
2. Scope
This policy applies to:
- The ChainLinked web application at chainlinked.ai
- The ChainLinked Data Connector Chrome extension
- Any APIs or services operated by ChainLinked
It does not apply to third-party services you connect to ChainLinked (such as LinkedIn or Google), which have their own privacy policies.
3. Data We Collect
3a. Data collected through the Chrome Extension
The Extension operates entirely within your own LinkedIn session. It captures data that you have already generated or have access to on LinkedIn — it cannot access other users' private data. The following categories are collected:
| Category | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Profile data | Name, headline, location, profile photo URL, LinkedIn member ID, public identifier | Display your profile in the ChainLinked dashboard |
| Analytics data | Post impressions, profile views, follower growth, engagement rates | Populate your personal and team analytics dashboard |
| Post & content data | Post text, media URLs, reactions, comments, reposts, per-post metrics | Track content performance and build your post library |
| Audience demographics | Follower job titles, industries, companies, geographic regions | Display audience insights in the dashboard |
| Network data | Connection count, follower count, invitation metadata | Network growth tracking |
| Feed posts | Posts from connections visible in your LinkedIn feed | Populate the team activity feed and inspiration features |
| Messaging metadata | Conversation counts, unread counts (message content is not stored by default) | Optional — only if messaging capture is enabled in settings |
| Authentication tokens | LinkedIn session cookies (li_at, JSESSIONID, lidc, bcookie) | Authenticate requests to LinkedIn's internal API on your behalf |
| Google OAuth tokens | Google account ID, email address, display name | Sign in to ChainLinked using your Google account |
3b. Data collected through the web application
- Account information: Email address, password (hashed), team membership, and role.
- Content you create: Posts you draft, schedule, or publish through ChainLinked; templates; carousel files.
- Usage data: Pages visited, features used, and actions taken within the app (used for product improvement).
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, and device type collected automatically by our infrastructure.
4. How We Use Your Data

We do not sell your data. We do not use your data for advertising. We do not use your data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.
5. LinkedIn Session Cookies
The Extension captures your LinkedIn session cookies (li_at, JSESSIONID) to make authenticated API requests to LinkedIn on your behalf. These cookies are:
- Stored in our database associated with your ChainLinked account
- Used solely to retrieve your own LinkedIn data (not anyone else's)
- Never shared with third parties
- Treated as sensitive credentials — access is restricted by row-level security policies in our database
- Automatically invalidated when your LinkedIn session expires (typically 60 days)
You can revoke access at any time by disconnecting LinkedIn in ChainLinked Settings, which deletes all stored session tokens.
6. Data Sharing
We share data only in the following limited circumstances:
- Within your team: Analytics and post data may be visible to other members of your ChainLinked team, as that is a core feature of the product.
- Service providers: We use Supabase for database and authentication infrastructure. Data is stored on Supabase servers in the ap-south-1 (Mumbai) region. Supabase processes data under its own privacy and security policies.
- AI providers: Content and style data may be sent to AI providers (such as Anthropic or OpenAI) to generate content suggestions. Prompts are not used to train third-party models under our current API agreements.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose data if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of ChainLinked or its users.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties.
7. Data Retention
- Captured LinkedIn data is retained as long as your account is active.
- LinkedIn session cookies are deleted when you disconnect LinkedIn or close your account.
- You can request deletion of all your data at any time by emailing support@higherops.io.
- Upon account deletion, all personal data is permanently removed within 30 days.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Access
Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
Correction
Request correction of inaccurate data.
Deletion
Request deletion of your data.
Portability
Request your data in a machine-readable format.
Objection
Object to certain uses of your data.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@higherops.io.
9. Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including:
- Encrypted data transmission (TLS/HTTPS)
- Row-level security (RLS) policies restricting database access to the authenticated user's own data
- Authentication via Supabase Auth with support for Google OAuth2
- Sensitive credentials (session tokens) stored with restricted access controls
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it to support@higherops.io.
10. Children
ChainLinked is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or by displaying a notice in the app. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of ChainLinked after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
