Reasons for Collecting and Processing User Personal Information
We collect and process your personal information for the following purposes:
1. To provide the Service: Your account information and LinkedIn credentials are essential for the core functionality of the platform — managing your outreach campaigns, executing automated LinkedIn tasks via the desktop client, and displaying your dashboard analytics.
2. To manage subscriptions and billing: We use your account and payment data to process subscription fees, handle renewals, maintain billing records, and provide customer support for payment-related inquiries.
3. To enable third-party integrations: When you connect your Google or HubSpot accounts, we store authentication tokens to enable calendar booking, email sending, and CRM lead management on your behalf.
4. To power AI-assisted features: Company details and proposal snippets you provide are used to personalize AI-generated messages for your LinkedIn outreach campaigns. This data is processed in real-time and is not sold or shared with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
5. To improve and secure the Service: Usage data, client version information, and heartbeat signals help us detect issues, monitor service health, deliver software updates, and improve the user experience.
6. To communicate with you: We may use your email address to send critical service notifications (such as password reset emails, subscription confirmations, and security alerts). We will not send unsolicited marketing emails without your explicit consent.
Google User Data — Limited Use Disclosure
LinkSprig’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Specifically:
- We only request access to Google Calendar and Gmail scopes that are necessary for the features you choose to enable (calendar event creation and email sending for lead engagement).
- Google OAuth 2.0 refresh tokens are stored securely and are used solely to maintain your authorized session so you do not need to re-authenticate repeatedly.
- We do not use Google user data for advertising, user profiling, or any purpose unrelated to the Service’s core functionality.
- We do not sell, rent, or share Google user data with third parties except as required to provide the Service or comply with legal obligations.
- Access to Google user data is limited to the specific actions you initiate through the LinkSprig dashboard or desktop client (e.g., scheduling a meeting or sending a follow-up email).
Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored in a secure MongoDB Atlas cloud database with encryption at rest and in transit. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information, including:
- Password hashing: Your LinkSprig account password is hashed using bcrypt before storage.
- Secure sessions: Session cookies are configured with HttpOnly flags to prevent cross-site scripting attacks.
- API key rotation: Desktop client API keys can be rotated at any time from your dashboard for enhanced security.
- HTTPS: All data transmitted between your browser, the desktop client, and our servers is encrypted using TLS/SSL.
While we take reasonable precautions to protect your data, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and encourage you to use strong, unique passwords and keep your desktop client software up to date.
