Free LinkedIn score: Terms

What the tool does

You give us a LinkedIn profile link, or sign in to your own LinkedIn account through Unipile, our connection partner. We read the profile once and score it out of 100. With a link, we read the public profile from our own LinkedIn account, so its owner may see that James Pardoe or Laura Pardoe, the founders, viewed their profile. When you sign in, we stay connected for up to 30 minutes so you can choose to post your score, and we disconnect your account as soon as you post or close the page.

What we read

The name, headline, photo, banner, About section, experience, skills and follower count on the profile. From its recent posts: how often they come out, when the last one did, and their reactions, comments and reposts. When you sign in, also your email address, how many times your recent posts were seen, your LinkedIn plan (free, Premium or Sales Navigator) and how many of your connection requests are waiting. We read nothing else, such as your messages.

What we do on your account

With a link, nothing: we never touch your account. When you sign in, nothing unless you tick the box to connect with the founder; then your account sends one connection request to James Pardoe during the check. We never post unless you press the button. If you press Post, we post your score card with the text you approved, once. We never message or send any other request on your behalf.

What we keep

The name, LinkedIn profile link, headline and plan, the scores and the report, and your email address if you give it or sign in. Your report link is private to you. If you share your score, the share page shows your score card only.

Research

We may analyse scores and profile details across many profiles, for example to find which parts of a profile go with more engagement or to compare average scores by role and industry. We use this to improve the tool and our outreach advice, and we may publish the findings. Anything we publish is grouped and never names you or your profile.

Connecting with you

James Pardoe may send the scored profile a LinkedIn connection request from his own account.

Emails

If you tick the box for insights and special offers, we email you about LinkedIn outreach and Handshake. Every email has an unsubscribe link. Without that box, we email you only about your check.

Limits

One check per LinkedIn profile every 30 days. The score is guidance, not a promise of results. The tool is free, and we may change or withdraw it at any time.

Your data

Our privacy policy covers how we handle your data. To have your data deleted, email support@gro.bot. LinkedIn's own terms still apply to your LinkedIn account.
