Unpend runs on your computer. Your LinkedIn data never reaches us, because there is nowhere for it to go.
Last updated: 7 November 2026
Unpend is a browser extension that helps you clean up your own LinkedIn network: withdrawing invitations you sent, removing connections, unfollowing people and companies, and managing group requests. It acts on your account, on your instruction, using your own logged-in session.
It is not a scraper and not a data product. We do not build profiles, we do not sell or share anything, and there is no account to create.
Everything you can see in the extension is stored in your browser's own extension storage (chrome.storage.local): the lists you load into the Network Manager, your settings, your protect list, and local counters such as how many invitations you have withdrawn.
Your LinkedIn lists, profiles and invitation records are not transmitted to us. You can erase the local cache at any time from Options, and uninstalling the extension removes it automatically.
One number is kept outside extension storage: how many of this month's free actions you have used, stored as a cookie for tryunpend.com, so that uninstalling and reinstalling does not reset it. It holds only a month and that number. Its path is one the site never serves, so your browser never sends it to us, and no web page can read it.
The extension only runs on your LinkedIn network and groups pages. It is not injected into your feed, your messages, or anyone's profile.
Licence checks. When you activate or re-check Unpend Pro, three values are sent to our verification endpoint: your licence key, an anonymous install identifier generated on your device, and the activation identifier our payment provider issued for that key. Nothing about your LinkedIn account is attached.
Optional feedback and support. If you submit a feedback, support, attribution or uninstall form, we receive what you enter, which may include an optional email address, plus the extension version, interface language, Pro or Free tier, operating system, time zone, coarse country supplied by our hosting provider, and local usage totals. We use these fields only to answer you, diagnose failures and improve Unpend. They are never sold or used for advertising.
Contact form and newsletter. If you write to us through the contact form we receive your name, email address, optional company and your message, and we use them only to answer you. If you subscribe to the newsletter we store your email address to send it, and every issue has a one-click unsubscribe link. Both are delivered through Resend, our email provider, and you can ask us to delete them at any time.
The uninstall page opens with the extension version, your interface language, whether you were on Free or Pro, your operating system, how many free actions you had used this month and how many items Unpend had removed for you in total, nothing that identifies you. Submitting the form is optional. Free-text answers can contain personal information, so include only what you want us to receive.
To load a large list quickly, Unpend can call LinkedIn's own internal endpoints from your logged-in session, exactly the requests linkedin.com makes for itself. These are first-party requests from your browser to LinkedIn. They carry your session's CSRF token because LinkedIn requires it; that token is read from the page, used in the request, and never stored or sent anywhere else.
You can switch this off in Options under "Use fast API collection". With it off, Unpend reads only the rendered page, which is slower but touches no API.
Purchases are handled by Creem, our Merchant of Record, who processes the payment and issues your licence key. Your name, email and payment details are given to Creem, not to us; we never see or store card details. Creem's own privacy policy governs that data.
The extension has none: no analytics SDK, no telemetry, no advertising identifiers. This website has one exception, used only to measure our own ads: a Google Ads tag that tells us whether a visit from a Google ad led to an install or a purchase. In the EU, the UK and Switzerland it sets no cookies unless you accept them in the cookie banner; everywhere else you can decline in the same banner. Change your choice any time with "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page. The only other cookie is the free-action count described in section 2, which never leaves your computer.
You may ask us to access, correct or delete feedback and support information associated with your email address. We retain it only while it remains useful for support and product improvement. For purchase data held by our payment provider, contact us and we will help you reach them. If you are in the EU or UK, this does not affect your statutory rights.
Questions about this policy, your licence, billing, or anything else: write to us and we answer within 3 business days.
Unpend is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to LinkedIn Corporation or Microsoft. "LinkedIn" is a trademark of its respective owner and is used here only to describe what the software works with.
We use one Google Ads tag to see which ads bring people to Unpend. It sets cookies only if you accept. The extension itself never tracks you. Privacy policy
