Read-only by design. Refreshed on a schedule, not on demand.

How Cclarity handles your LinkedIn data, what it reads, what it never touches, and why we deliberately move slowly.

Last updated 5 May 2026.

Principle 01

Read-only OAuth, always.

Cclarity asks LinkedIn for the read scopes it needs and nothing else. It cannot post on your behalf. It cannot send messages, reactions, comments, or connection requests. It cannot edit your profile.

This is the trade-off we made on purpose. Tools that automate posting are the ones that get LinkedIn accounts restricted. We removed the action to remove the risk — your AI drafts, you publish.

You can revoke Cclarity's access at any time, from your LinkedIn settings or your Cclarity dashboard. Revocation takes effect immediately.

Principle 02

Scheduled refresh, not real‑time.

Cclarity does not pull your LinkedIn data on demand. We retrieve it on a randomised schedule throughout the day, mimicking the rhythm of a human checking their feed.

The reason is plain: predictable, real-time scraping is how third-party tools trigger LinkedIn's automation flags and get accounts restricted. Randomised retrieval keeps you off that radar.

What this means for you in practice. When you ask your AI "who engaged my last post?", the answer is current as of the most recent scheduled pull. That could be minutes old, or it could be hours. Most users see a 2–6 hour data lag. The query is instant; the underlying snapshot is not.

This is by design, not a limitation we plan to remove. Account safety beats refresh frequency every time.

What Cclarity reads

The exact data we touch.

Plain English, not legalese. If something is not on this list, Cclarity does not read it.

Your posts

Public posts you have authored on LinkedIn over the last 90 days. Headline, body, comments count, reactions count, impressions, click-through where LinkedIn exposes it.

People who engaged with your posts

Names, headlines, public profile URLs, and the kind of engagement (like, comment, repost) of accounts that engaged with the posts above.

Your profile viewers

The same list LinkedIn shows you in the "Who's viewed your profile" view, surfaced as structured data your AI can rank against your stated ICP.

Connection invitations you have sent or received

Sender, recipient, sent and accepted timestamps. Used to surface follow-up opportunities and detect who has gone quiet.

Your activity feed

The reactions and comments you have made elsewhere on LinkedIn over the last 90 days. Used to learn your engagement patterns and tone.

Your basic profile

Name, current headline, current role, location, and the URL of your photo. Used to write content in your voice and check you are still you.

Out of scope

What Cclarity never touches.

Some categories are deliberately outside the scopes Cclarity requests. We do not read them, store them, or expose them to your AI.

  • Private LinkedIn messages (DMs)
  • Your contacts list export
  • LinkedIn Recruiter, Sales Navigator, or Premium-only data
  • The private content of accounts you do not follow
  • Anything from outside LinkedIn
Storage & retention

Where your data lives, and for how long.

Where

Your data is stored on managed infrastructure in Singapore and the United States. Encrypted at rest. Encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+). Access is restricted to a small set of operators who need it to keep the service running.

For how long

While your account is active, Cclarity keeps a rolling window of the last 90 days of LinkedIn signals. Older snapshots are aged out automatically.

If you cancel, we delete your LinkedIn data within 30 days of cancellation. Your account record (email, billing history) is kept for 7 years for tax and accounting reasons, then deleted.

You can request immediate deletion of your LinkedIn data at any time by emailing [email protected].

Training

Your data is never used to train any model — ours, Anthropic's, OpenAI's, or anyone else's. Your AI calls the connector during your session; nothing is sent for training.

Your rights

What you can ask us to do.

Regardless of where you live, you can ask Cclarity to:

  • Show you the data we hold about you. Email and we will send a JSON export.
  • Correct anything that looks wrong.
  • Delete your data, in part or in full.
  • Stop processing your data while a question is unresolved.
  • Take it elsewhere — we will export your data in a portable format.

Reach the team at [email protected]. We answer within 14 days, usually within 2.

Cookies

cclarity.io uses one analytics cookie (PostHog) to count visits and a session cookie to keep you signed in. No advertising trackers, no third-party fingerprinting.

Children

Cclarity is a B2B tool for working professionals. Not for under-16s. We do not knowingly collect data from minors.

Changes

If we change this policy materially, we email everyone with an account at least 14 days before the change takes effect.
