Privacy is non-negotiable in sales tech. Understand exactly what data Klipy accesses, how we protect your LinkedIn account, and why our privacy-first approach actually makes you more effective at social selling.

Real-Time Sync vs Data Storage
How Our System Works
Real-Time Processing: Messages sync to Klipy as they occur on LinkedIn
Temporary Caching: Data held briefly in memory for speed and performance
No Permanent Storage: Conversation data is NOT saved to our databases
Immediate Release: All data purged when you disconnect your account
Why We Don't Store Conversations
Privacy Protection: Your LinkedIn messages remain private by default
Data Security: Can't lose what we don't permanently store
What Happens to Your Data
During Active Use:
Messages cached and processed in real-time for CRM integration
Activity metrics updated hourly with 1-hour retention
When You Disconnect:
All cached LinkedIn data immediately purged from our systems
Contact records retain all information (name, company) but lose LinkedIn connection
Enrichment summaries remain as static memos in contact history
No residual LinkedIn data stored anywhere in our infrastructure
Team Visibility Controls
What Team Members See
Contact Information: Basic profile details (name, title, company)
Interaction Summaries: "Had LinkedIn conversation on [date]" timeline entries
Deal Context: How LinkedIn interactions relate to pipeline progression

Account Safety & LinkedIn Compliance
How We Protect Your LinkedIn Account
Is Klipy an official LinkedIn tool
No, we're not affiliated with LinkedIn. We're a third-party tool that helps you engage with your network. However:
We use the safest connection method possible
You control all activities
You can remove access anytime
95% of the tools you know (big logos, too) are 3rd party tools. Some are just less transparent about how they connect to LinkedIn.
Anti-Suspicious Activity Measures
Rate Limiting: Automatic delays prevent excessive API calls
Human-Like Patterns: Message sending follows natural timing patterns
Cache Intervals: 1-hour activity updates prevent over-querying
Manual Oversight: Critical actions require explicit user confirmation
Account Monitoring
Real-time detection of LinkedIn API rate limit warnings
Automatic throttling when approaching usage limits
Immediate backoffs if LinkedIn flags unusual activity
Graceful degradation to protect your account status
Why using a separate session is the most secure way
Every time you log into LinkedIn - whether from your phone, laptop, different browser, or work computer - you create what's called a "session". LinkedIn expects you to have multiple sessions and considers this normal activity.
Most LinkedIn users have multiple sessions (from work, from home, from their phone); it's normal.
When Klipy connects to LinkedIn:
We create a new session, just like logging in from another device
Your session gets an IP from your location
LinkedIn sees this as normal activity, like you have logged in from a different browser or work computer
It's much more secure than using your existing session with Chrome extension
How is it different from other tools like FolkX or Chrome Extensions:
Some tools use Chrome extensions instead of asking for your login. While this seems more convenient (they do not need your password and connect seamlessly), it's actually less safe for two reasons:
Chrome extensions
LinkedIn actively scans for Chrome extensions
It is easily detectable from their side
It is proven that they track over 1,000 known automation extensions
Session copying
When tools use Chrome extensions or session cookies, they clone your existing browser session
LinkedIn sees your browser suddenly duplicating itself
It is a very unusual activity and can be easily detected
Easily revoke access anytime
You can disconnect Klipy anytime right from LinkedIn. You don't need to log into Klipy to do that - manage access directly from LinkedIn here
You can enable 2-step verification (2FA) for extra security. Even though you share your password with Klipy, we can only log in if you provide the code from SMS, email, or app
Using with other LinkedIn tools
You can use Klipy alongside other LinkedIn tools. However:
Carefully respect daily limits across all tools
Don't connect too many tools at once
Privacy Controls You Control

Ongoing Lead: Opt-in to conversation tracking and CRM integration
Casual Network: LinkedIn connection preserved, but no data tracking
Easy Toggle: Change status anytime without losing contact information
Granular Monitoring Control

Pause monitoring temporarily without disconnecting
Selective data sharing for sensitive relationships
Common Privacy Questions
"Will LinkedIn know I'm using Klipy?"
LinkedIn is aware that third-party tools can access their platform through unofficial "Voyager" APIs. Your activity appears normal to LinkedIn—you're still sending messages and viewing profiles as usual, just with better organization.
"Can my prospects tell I'm using a CRM tool?"
No. Your LinkedIn messages and interactions appear exactly as they would if sent directly through LinkedIn. There are no visible indicators that you're using Klipy.
"What if LinkedIn changes their privacy policies?"
We monitor LinkedIn policy updates continuously and adjust our integration immediately to maintain compliance. Users are notified of any changes that affect their data processing.
"Can I use this for personal LinkedIn accounts?"
Yes, but we recommend only tracking business-related conversations. Use the "Casual Network" status for personal connections to maintain appropriate privacy boundaries.
"What happens if my LinkedIn account gets restricted?"
Klipy's compliance measures minimize this risk, but if restrictions occur, we provide support to resolve issues and prevent future problems.
Klipy is committed to privacy-first social selling. Our integration protects your LinkedIn account while maximizing your sales effectiveness through responsible data processing.
