LinkedIn controls the language shown on its permissions screen. Because InGo allows you to choose to share a post to LinkedIn, LinkedIn requires InGo to request a permission described as:
“Create, modify, and delete posts, comments, and reactions on your behalf.”
That language can sound broader than what InGo actually does. LinkedIn groups several capabilities together under this permission, so InGo is required to display the full permission language even though we do not use all of those capabilities.

What does InGo actually use this permission for?
InGo uses this permission so you can choose to share an event-related post to your LinkedIn feed.
InGo does not use this permission to modify or delete your existing LinkedIn posts, comments, or reactions.
A post is shared through InGo only when you choose to do so.
Why does InGo request my name, photo, and email address?
InGo uses your LinkedIn name, photo, and primary email address to help make event registration faster and easier, including pre-filling information in the registration form.
This information is shared only with the event organizer and is handled according to the applicable privacy policies.
Does InGo get my LinkedIn password?
No. InGo does not access or receive your LinkedIn password.
You grant permissions directly through LinkedIn.
Can I revoke InGo’s LinkedIn permissions?
Yes. You can revoke the permissions you’ve granted to InGo at any time through your LinkedIn privacy settings. Here is a link to the page where you can adjust permitted services.
The important thing to know
LinkedIn controls the permission language you see when connecting your account. Because InGo enables you to share a post to LinkedIn, we’re required to request the corresponding LinkedIn permission.
InGo only posts when you choose to share. We do not use this permission to modify or delete your existing LinkedIn posts, comments, or reactions.
