Privacy

Short version: Linkonito keeps data collection deliberately minimal. Here's exactly what happens when you use it.

No loginLocal saves onlyNo search terms in analytics

What Linkonito does

You type a name. Linkonito queries the public Google index to find matching LinkedIn profiles and their public posts. It then links you to LinkedIn's own public activity page. No LinkedIn login required, no private data accessed.

Search queries

The names you type are sent to Serper.dev, a Google Search API, to find LinkedIn profiles and posts. Serper processes these queries under their own privacy policy. Linkonito does not store your queries in its own database.

IP addresses and rate limiting

To prevent abuse, your IP address is held in server memory for up to 60 seconds after each request. It is never written to disk, never logged by us, and never associated with your queries.

Hosting logs

Linkonito runs on Vercel. Like most web hosts, Vercel may log standard request metadata, including request URLs and query strings. That means search terms can appear in infrastructure logs. These logs are managed by Vercel under their own policy and are not used by Linkonito for analytics or profiling.

Saved profiles

If you save a profile, it is stored in your browser's localStorage only. It never leaves your device and is lost if you clear your browser data or switch devices.

Analytics

Linkonito uses Vercel Web Analytics to understand basic product usage: page views, referrers, and anonymized product events such as searches submitted, profiles selected, posts loaded, or profiles saved. These events never include the name you searched, the LinkedIn handle, or the LinkedIn URL.

Linkonito uses no ad network, no social tracker, and no Google Analytics.

About the posts Linkonito surfaces

Linkonito only surfaces posts that are already indexed by Google. This is fully public content. It does not scrape LinkedIn, bypass authentication, or access any restricted data. LinkedIn is a trademark of LinkedIn Corporation. Linkonito is not affiliated with LinkedIn.
