What this extension does
Nextdev Connect is a browser extension with a single purpose: it lets you link your own LinkedIn account to your Nextdev workspace in one click. It does not automate any tasks, scrape pages, or run in the background. It acts only when you click "Connect my LinkedIn."
What data we collect
When you click Connect, the extension reads two things from your browser and sends them once to Nextdev:
- Your LinkedIn session cookie (li_at) — an authentication token that represents your logged-in LinkedIn session.
- Your browser user-agent string — sent so the connection stays stable and is attributed to your real browser.
We do not collect your password, your browsing history, your messages, your location, or any data from sites other than LinkedIn.
How the data is used
- The session cookie is sent to Nextdev's API and passed to our connection provider (Unipile) solely to establish the link between your LinkedIn account and your Nextdev workspace.
- We do not store the raw session cookie on our own servers; it is used only to create the connection.
- We do not sell or transfer your data to third parties outside of providing this service.
- We do not use your data for any purpose unrelated to linking and operating your LinkedIn account within Nextdev, as you authorize.
- We do not use your data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.
Permissions
- cookies — to read your LinkedIn session cookie at the moment you click Connect.
- Access to linkedin.com — to read that session cookie.
- Access to joinnextdev.com — to send the connection request to Nextdev's API.
Your control
You can disconnect your LinkedIn account from Nextdev at any time by asking us to remove it, or by changing your LinkedIn password (which invalidates the session). You may also remove the extension from Chrome at any time.
