Absolutely. Your LinkedIn account security is our top priority. Here's exactly how we protect it.

We Use LinkedIn's Official API

Postiv AI connects to LinkedIn through LinkedIn's official API - the same secure system that major companies like HubSpot, Hootsuite, and other professional tools use.

What this means:

  • Direct, secure connection authorized by LinkedIn

  • All communication follows LinkedIn's official protocols

  • Your credentials are never stored on our servers

  • You control access and can revoke it anytime through LinkedIn settings

We Comply with All LinkedIn Guidelines

Unlike automation tools that spam connections or auto-comment, Postiv AI operates within all of LinkedIn's terms of service.

What we do:

βœ… Help you create quality content based on your expertise
βœ… Schedule posts at times you choose
βœ… Use LinkedIn's official posting API
βœ… Support authentic, human-created content
βœ… Enable team collaboration on LinkedIn strategy

What we DON'T do:

❌ Auto-send connection requests
❌ Send automated messages
❌ Use bots or fake engagement
❌ Violate any LinkedIn policies

We're Not an Automation Tool

This is important: Postiv AI is a content creation tool, not an automation bot.

The difference:

Automation tools (can be at risk when not used properly):

  • Send hundreds of connection requests automatically

  • Post comments without human review

  • Send mass DMs to prospects

  • Often violate LinkedIn's terms

  • Can get accounts flagged or banned when not used properly

Postiv AI (the safe approach):

  • You create content with AI assistance

  • You review before posting

  • You control when posts go live

  • You maintain authentic voice

  • Human-in-the-loop approach

We believe in human-in-the-loop content creation. The AI helps you create, you review and approve, then you publish. Just like having a writing assistant - but faster and smarter.

Your Data Security

What we access:

  • Permission to post content to your LinkedIn profile

  • Your profile information (to personalize content)

  • Scheduling permissions

What we DON'T access:

  • Your LinkedIn password (never)

  • Your private messages

  • Your connection data

Why This Matters for Business Owners

You're not just another "creator" trying to go viral. You're a business owner using LinkedIn as a professional lead generation channel.

You can't risk your account being flagged or banned because of shady automation tools. Your reputation and your business depend on it.

That's why we built Postiv AI the right way:

  • Official LinkedIn partnership

  • Proper API usage

  • Quality content over quantity

  • Authentic presence, not fake engagement

What About LinkedIn's Stance on AI Content?

LinkedIn allows AI-assisted content creation. What they don't allow is:

  • Fake engagement (bots liking/commenting)

  • Spam and mass automation

  • Misleading or deceptive practices

Postiv AI helps you create authentic content based on your real expertise. You review it, approve it, and post it. That's completely within LinkedIn's guidelines.

Think of it like using Grammarly for writing or Canva for design - AI tools that help you create better content faster.
