What LinkedOptima does

LinkedOptima reviews a LinkedIn profile you give us, scores it against our published rubric, and suggests a rewrite. LinkedOptima is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by LinkedIn Corporation.

What we process

• Profile text and images you submit: text from the LinkedIn "Save to PDF" export you upload, text you paste or type, your answers to our interview questions (including the "build from scratch" questions), job-posting text you paste (Role Match), drafts you paste into Post coach, a logo you upload for the banner designer, a profile photo or banner you upload for the photo and banner check, and interview questions you type into Interview answers.
• Account and purchase data: your email address, and for each purchase the order number, the products bought and the date. We do not receive your card or payment details; Shopify processes payments.
• Usage data: which features you used and when, and counts of AI tokens used (never the text itself), to run limits and control cost.
• Technical data: IP address (for rate limiting and bot protection) and the cookies needed to keep you signed in.

We never ask for, receive or store your LinkedIn password or LinkedIn cookies. We don't log in to LinkedIn, and we don't scrape LinkedIn or any job board. We don't collect recommendations written by other people; at most, you tell us how many you have.

The free score ("Try it free")

• You upload your LinkedIn PDF and give your email. We read the PDF, score it, and show you the result. The PDF and its text are not stored on our servers; they are discarded as soon as the score is sent to your browser.
• If you choose a plan from the free score, we keep that profile and its score under a random code so you don't upload it again after checkout. It is deleted when you start your first analysis, and 24 hours after scoring at the latest. The code travels with your Shopify order as a cart attribute.
• Your email is required to see the free score. Unless you tick the marketing box, it is used only as a rate-limit key: we keep a one-way hash of it for 24 hours to allow 2 free scores a day, and nothing else.
• The free preview and its chat: after the score you can answer a few optional questions and pick banner colours; we then write a short preview (a headline, the start of your About, a banner). Your answers and chat messages are sent to our AI provider to write it and are not stored; we keep only counters (how many messages and revisions you've used, for 24 hours).
• Your photo in the preview (optional): if you upload one, it stays in your browser and is never sent to us. If you choose "Use my LinkedIn photo", LinkedIn asks your permission and shares your name and profile photo with us; we pass them straight to your browser and don't store them (a one-time pickup that expires after 10 minutes). We don't receive your LinkedIn password, your email or anything else from LinkedIn.
• Marketing emails only if you tick the separate, unticked-by-default box. We then keep your email, the exact wording you agreed to, and the date. You can unsubscribe at any time (every marketing email will include a link), or email us.

Showing your result as an example (optional)

At the end of your results there is a separate, unticked-by-default box. Only if you tick it may we show that analysis's before and after (the scores and the rewritten text) as an example on our website and social pages, without your name, photo or contact details; we would remove anything in the text that identifies you. We keep which analysis it is, the exact wording you agreed to, and the date. Untick it on the same page any time and we stop using it (examples already posted are taken down); deleting the analysis or your account removes it too.

Why we process it

To provide the service you bought: scoring, the interview, rewrites, Pro tools and emails about your purchase (sign-in links, Re-score Pass reminders). To show you a free score, and (only if you opt in) to send marketing emails or show your before and after as an example. To prevent abuse and keep costs under control (rate limits, bot checks, usage limits). To meet legal and accounting obligations. We do not sell your data, use it for advertising, or use it to train AI models.

How AI is used

The photo and banner check only looks at the photo as a photo (size, framing, focus, light, background, text). It never assesses your appearance, age, race, gender, health or anything else about you, and it never changes your score.

Your submitted text is sent to our AI provider to generate scores and suggestions. AI output can contain errors: review everything before you post it. Scores are our rubric's assessment of the text you gave us. They are not predictions of profile views, interviews, job offers or income. Role Match fit scores are estimates based only on the text you supplied, not predictions of hiring decisions.

Sub-processors

We use these providers to run LinkedOptima. Each processes data only to provide its service to us:

Provider	Purpose	Data
Anthropic, through an API reseller (cheapvibecode.ru) that forwards our requests to Anthropic	AI scoring and writing	Profile text, answers, pasted postings and drafts, uploaded logos (for a content check), uploaded profile photos and banners (for the photo and banner check)
Supabase	Database and sign-in	Account, purchases, profile data, results
Vercel	Hosting the app	Requests, IP addresses, logs (no profile text in logs)
Resend	Sending emails	Email address, email content
Shopify	Storefront and payments	Order and payment data (under Shopify's own privacy policy)
Upstash	Rate limiting; the 24-hour free-score hand-off	IP addresses, account IDs and hashed emails as counters; the kept free-score profile (max 24 h)
LinkedIn	Optional sign-in to show your own photo in the preview	Your name and profile photo, only if you choose it
Cloudflare	Bot protection (Turnstile) and DNS	IP address, browser signals for the bot check

How long we keep it

• Profile data (profile text, interview answers, story cards, rewrites, Pro outputs, pasted job postings, build-from-scratch answers): deleted 30 days after each analysis by default.
• Free score: the PDF and its text are not stored. If you choose a plan from it, the profile is kept for checkout for at most 24 hours. Marketing consent records (email, wording, date) are kept until you unsubscribe, then for 3 years as proof of consent.
• Uploaded logos and generated banners: not stored; used only to draw your banners in that request.
• Photos and banners for the photo and banner check (now part of every Basic and Pro analysis, before it runs): not stored on our servers. The copies you see in your before and after stay in your browser only. The image is resized and sent to our AI provider in that request only; we keep just the advice (for example "not square") with your analysis, deleted after 30 days.
• Language: we remember the language you choose for the screens in a cookie in your browser, and the language for your rewrite with your analysis (deleted with it).
• "Finish your profile" answers: sent to our AI provider to fill in what was missing; the result replaces the rewrite in your analysis (deleted after 30 days); the answers themselves are not stored.
• Change requests in the paid chat: your messages are sent to our AI provider and not stored; the revised text replaces the rewrite in your analysis (deleted with it after 30 days), and we count messages and revisions for your allowance.
• Job postings for Role match: the posting text is not stored; we keep the match result (keywords and the headline) with your analysis, deleted after 30 days.
• Score history (numbers only, no text): kept while your account exists, so you can see your progress.
• Purchase records: kept as long as required for accounting and tax.
• Webhook records from Shopify (email, order number, products): deleted after 30 days.

Your choices and rights

• Export: download everything we hold about you at any time from "Your data" in the app.
• Delete: delete your profile data, or your whole account, at any time from "Your data". You can also email us.
• Depending on where you live (for example the EU, the UK or California), you may have further rights: to access, correct or delete your data, to receive a copy, to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. Email support@linkedoptima.com and we'll answer within 30 days. You can also complain to your local data-protection authority.
• We don't sell or share your personal information for advertising, as those terms are defined in California law.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit. Access is restricted per account (row-level security), only our servers can write data, and our logs never contain profile text.

Children

LinkedOptima is not for anyone under 16, and we don't knowingly collect data from children. If you think a child has used it, email us and we'll delete the data.

Changes

We'll post changes here and update the date above. For material changes, we'll email account holders.
