Privacy Policy

ConnectionCleanup is built so that we handle as little of your data as possible. This policy describes exactly what we collect, what we deliberately do not collect, and your rights.

Your LinkedIn export: processed in your browser, never uploaded

The Connections.csv file you analyze, which contains personal data about your connections (names, companies, titles, profile URLs, and sometimes email addresses), is parsed and analyzed entirely in your web browser. It is never transmitted to, or stored on, our servers. We cannot see it, and no copy exists anywhere we control.

• Your working session (the analyzed list and your keep/remove decisions) is saved in your browser's local storage on your own device, so you can resume later.
• You can delete it at any time with the "Start over" button in the app, or by clearing your browser's site data for our domain. Deletion is immediate and complete, because your device is the only place the data ever existed.

What we do collect

• Payment information:processed by Stripe, our payment provider. We receive your email address and payment status, never your card number. Stripe's privacy policy governs their processing.
• Basic usage analytics: privacy-friendly, cookieless page-view analytics (aggregate counts only, no individual tracking, no advertising identifiers). Analytics never include anything from an uploaded file.
• Free-tool emails: some free tools ask for your email address before showing results. We store that address to follow up about the product; unsubscribe with one click, and the uploaded data itself still never leaves your browser.
• Support email: if you email us, we keep the correspondence to help you.

What we never do

• We never sell or share personal data with third parties for marketing.
• We never access your LinkedIn account and never ask for your LinkedIn password.
• We never store the contents of your data export server-side.

Data retention and deletion

Payment records are retained as required for tax and accounting law. Everything else you can delete yourself, instantly, in the app. To request deletion of payment/support records or to exercise rights under GDPR or CCPA (access, correction, deletion, portability), email support@connectioncleanup.com. We respond within 30 days.

Changes

If we ever change how data is handled (in particular, if any feature would require server-side processing of export data) we will update this policy and clearly flag the change in the product before it takes effect.
