Privacy & Profile Usage

Why is Podawaa using my LinkedIn account to like and comment on posts?

By default, your profile may be used in SmartPods to help others gain engagement. This is part of how the system functions as a collaborative network.

I don’t want Podawaa to use my LinkedIn account—how do I stop this?

You have two options:

Uninstall the Podawaa extension (this stops all interactions).

Upgrade to the Elite plan, which gives you access to “Private Mode” and prevents your profile from engaging with others’ posts.

Can I use Podawaa without my profile being used in SmartPods?

Yes, but only with the Elite or Gold plans that allow you to disable community engagement via the “Private Mode” feature.

If I uninstall the extension, will Podawaa still use my LinkedIn account?

No. Podawaa works through the browser extension. If it’s uninstalled, your account cannot be used to like or comment.
