Who we are
TheyWillReadMe is an AI LinkedIn coach that helps you write posts in your authentic style. The service is operated as an independent product. If you have questions about this policy, contact us at privacy@theywillread.me.
Data we collect
We collect the minimum data necessary to provide the service:
- Account data:Your name and email address, collected when you sign up or sign in with Google via OAuth. We do not store your Google password.
- Writing style data:Your LinkedIn profile URL, job title, goals, tone preferences, and past posts you voluntarily share to help the AI learn your style. This data is visible only to you.
- Posts read by the Milo extension:Automatic reading of the LinkedIn main feed is enabled by default in Milo and can be disabled in its settings. When enabled, the extension reads up to six posts visible after navigation, tab activation, or a scroll trigger. It keeps the post text and displayed author name in the extension's local storage. If an API key is configured, it sends this content to the TheyWillReadMe API for AI analysis. These posts may contain personal data about other LinkedIn members.
- Generated content:The posts generated by the AI coach and your chat history with the assistant, stored to improve recommendations and maintain context.
- Usage data:Basic product analytics (page views, feature usage events) collected via Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. These tools set measurement cookies, only after you consent via the cookie banner. See the Cookies and analytics section below.
- Payment data:If you subscribe to a paid plan, payment is processed by Stripe. TheyWillReadMe does not store your credit card number.
How we use your data
- –To authenticate you and maintain your session.
- –To personalize the AI coach to match your writing style.
- –To generate LinkedIn posts and analyze content sent by Milo using the Anthropic Claude API. The extension may automatically send the text and displayed author name of posts visible in the LinkedIn feed to the TheyWillReadMe API. The server sends analyzed content to Anthropic for inference; it is subject to Anthropic's data usage policy. We do not use your content to train AI models.
- –To process subscription payments via Stripe.
- –To send emails related to your use of the service: a welcome email, a follow-up after your first post, and usage reminders at day 3 and day 7. These non-essential emails are sent while the corresponding email preference is enabled. Essential emails, including security, billing, payment, and quota notifications, may still be sent when non-essential emails are disabled.
- –To analyze aggregate, anonymized usage patterns for product improvement.
