Privacy Policy

David Vanderpool
Last updated: June 5, 2026

This page explains what happens with your information when you connect to any of my personal applications or services, including tools that use "Sign in with LinkedIn" or "Share on LinkedIn."

Who this is

This is a personal site. I'm David Vanderpool. The applications linked here are built and operated by me personally, not by any company I consult with or advise.

What gets collected

When you use an application that connects through LinkedIn, the only information I receive is what LinkedIn shares after you explicitly grant permission on LinkedIn's own consent screen. That typically includes your name, profile photo, headline, and the email address associated with your LinkedIn account. If you authorize content sharing, the application can post content you create to your own LinkedIn feed at your direction.

I do not buy data. I do not scrape profiles. I do not track you across the web.

Why it gets collected

To let you sign in and, if you choose, to publish content you create to your own LinkedIn account. That's the entire purpose.

How it gets stored

Information stays inside the application you signed into. It is not sold, rented, shared, or transferred to advertisers. It is not used to build profiles about you for any purpose outside the application itself.

How long it gets kept

As long as your account is active. When you disconnect the application from your LinkedIn settings or delete your account, the connection ends and any stored authentication tokens are removed.

Your control

You can revoke permission at any time directly from your LinkedIn account settings under "Permitted Services." You don't need to ask me or anyone else. One click ends it.

Email list

If you leave your email address in the signup form on this site, it is stored with Buttondown, the small independent service that delivers what I write. Your address is used for exactly one thing: sending you the work when it ships. It is never sold, rented, or shared. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe, and unsubscribing removes your address.

Third parties

The third parties involved here are LinkedIn, because the sign-in and sharing features rely on LinkedIn's API, and Buttondown, because it delivers the email list described above. Each platform's own privacy policy governs what it does on its side.

Contact

If you have a question about this policy or about any application you've connected, reach me directly: david@davidvanderpool.com

Updates

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date at the top changes with it. Material changes will be noted here in plain language.
