What is Social Connect?

LinkedIn Social Connect Integration – Data Access Overview

When an employee connects their LinkedIn account to Sociuu, the connection is established using LinkedIn’s official OAuth 2.0 authorization framework.

This is LinkedIn’s secure, industry-standard method for allowing third-party platforms to act on a user’s behalf — without sharing login credentials. Sociuu never receives or stores LinkedIn passwords at any time.

What Access Does Sociuu Receive?

Sociuu receives limited, permission-based access only to what is required to enable publishing and performance tracking for posts shared through the platform.

This includes:

Basic Profile Identification

Name
LinkedIn profile ID (member identifier)
Profile picture
Email address (if approved by LinkedIn)

Publishing Permissions

Ability to publish or schedule posts only when initiated by the user inside Sociuu

Post-Level Performance Metrics

For content shared through Sociuu, LinkedIn provides analytics such as:

Impressions
Reactions
Comments
Reshares
Clicks
Relevant video metrics (where applicable)

What Technical Data Is Stored?

To maintain the connection and enable functionality, Sociuu securely stores:

OAuth token metadata (access token, refresh token, expiry information)
LinkedIn member ID for the connected account
Share records (post text, publish/schedule status, LinkedIn post reference/URN)
Performance metrics for posts published via Sociuu

This data is used only to:

Publish or schedule posts initiated by the user
Confirm publishing status
Display post performance analytics within the platform

What Sociuu Does NOT Have Access To

Sociuu does not have access to:

Private messages or inbox
Connections or network data
Browsing activity
Login credentials
Any LinkedIn content not shared through Sociuu

User Control & Security

Access is strictly limited by LinkedIn’s approved permission scopes. Users can revoke access at any time directly from their LinkedIn account settings.

Connecting your LinkedIn profile to SociuuHub

Step 1. Go to the settings section of your SociuuHub account and select "Connections & Integrations."

Step 2. Go to the "Social connect &integrations" area.

Step 3. Click on the “Connect to LinkedIn” button.

Step 4. Enter your LinkedIn profile information and accept the policies by clicking “Allow.”

Your LinkedIn is now connected!

If needed, you can disconnect your LinkedIn profile by clicking on the three dots next to the connection and selecting “Disconnect.”

By connecting to LinkedIn, you are allowing Sociuu to have limited access to your profile, only using:

Amount of reactions, comments, and impressions on posts shared via Sociuu.
User name and photo.
Verifying whether a post has been published.

In addition to this information, you will also have access to:

Scheduling posts to be shared on your LinkedIn profile.
Usage of @-mentions to tag company IDs.

Due to LinkedIn's restrictions on its API integration, it is only possible to @-mention company IDs and not individual persons.
