Who this covers. “How People Work tools” is private software written and operated by Dan Hon (Very Little Gravitas) to help produce and promote the How People Work shows. It is used by one person, on their own accounts. It is not a product, not offered to anyone else, and has no other users.

What it accesses on LinkedIn. With Dan Hon’s authorisation, and only for his own LinkedIn account, the software may:

  • publish posts to his own LinkedIn profile

  • read engagement statistics for his own posts — impressions, reach, reactions, comments, reshares, link clicks, follows and profile views resulting from those posts

What it does not do. It does not access, collect, store or process data about any other LinkedIn member. It does not read anyone’s profile, connections, messages or contact details. It does not scrape LinkedIn, and it does not build audience lists.

What is stored, and where. Post identifiers and the aggregate statistics listed above are stored in a private database on a personal server, accessible only to Dan Hon behind two-factor authentication. Statistics are aggregate counts — they identify no individual.

Sharing. Nothing obtained from LinkedIn is sold, shared, published or passed to any third party. No advertising or analytics services receive it.

Retention. Post statistics are kept while they remain useful for deciding what to publish, and deleted on request or when the software is retired. LinkedIn access tokens are stored only for as long as they are valid and are deleted when access is revoked.

Revoking access. Access can be withdrawn at any time from LinkedIn’s own settings, at Settings → Data privacy → Permitted services. The software stops working at that point and retains no further ability to read or publish.

Separately: people who register for the shows. Registration is handled by Calendly, not by LinkedIn and not by this software’s LinkedIn integration. Registrants’ names and email addresses are used to run the show and to follow up with people who attended. They are not sold or shared, and anyone can ask for their details to be removed by emailing the address below.
