1. Introduction
This privacy policy explains how Wawade AB ("Company", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal data when you use the Spinaker LinkedIn Ads Manager application.
We are committed to protecting your personal data and complying with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR.
Contact: [email protected]
2. Our role
Depending on the context, we act as:
A. Data controller
We act as a controller when we determine the purposes and means of processing personal data, including:
- Account registration and management
- Application performance monitoring and error tracking
- Security and fraud prevention
B. Data processor
We act as a processor when we process personal data on behalf of our business customers in connection with LinkedIn Ads operations and integrations established by users.
In such cases, processing is governed by our Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with the customer.
3. Personal data we collect
We collect and process the following personal data:
- Account information: name, email address, and profile image from your Google account (provided during sign-in)
- LinkedIn connection data: OAuth tokens linking your LinkedIn account to the service (encrypted at rest)
- LinkedIn Ads data: ad account information, campaigns, ads, and related metadata fetched via the LinkedIn Marketing API
- Usage data: actions performed within the application (recorded in audit logs)
- Technical data: IP address, user agent, browser type and version, and device information (captured for security and audit purposes)
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data (special category data under GDPR).
4. How we collect personal data
We collect personal data:
- Directly from you when you register an account or contact us
- Automatically through cookies and similar technologies during your use of the platform
- From third-party platforms when you connect your LinkedIn account via OAuth
5. Purposes and legal bases for processing
Under GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases:
A. Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b))
- Providing access to the platform and managing your account
- Authenticating access via Google OAuth
- LinkedIn Ads operations: syncing, editing, and publishing changes to your LinkedIn ad accounts on your behalf
- Delivering customer support
B. Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f))
- Security monitoring and fraud prevention — our interest in protecting the platform, user data, and LinkedIn OAuth tokens from unauthorized access
- Maintaining audit logs of actions and detecting unauthorized access — our interest in accountability and incident investigation
- Monitoring application performance and identifying errors — our interest in delivering a stable, reliable service
- Limited B2B marketing communications to existing customers — our interest in retaining customers and communicating product updates
We conduct balancing assessments for each legitimate interest, documented in our internal records. You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest (see Section 12).
C. Consent (Art. 6(1)(a))
- Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) — only set after you give consent via the cookie banner
You may withdraw consent at any time by updating your preferences via the Cookie Settings link in the site footer.
D. Legal obligation
- Compliance with tax, accounting, and regulatory requirements
6. Whether providing personal data is required
Providing your account information (name and email via Google OAuth) is necessary to use the service. Without it, we cannot create your account or grant access to the platform.
Connecting your LinkedIn account via OAuth is necessary to use LinkedIn Ads management features. You may use the platform without connecting a LinkedIn account, but ad account operations will not be available.
7. Cookies and tracking technologies
We use strictly necessary cookies for authentication and core platform functionality. We do not use marketing or advertising cookies.
We use Google Analytics 4 with Google Consent Mode v2 to understand how visitors interact with this website. Analytics cookies are only set after you give consent via the cookie banner. Without consent, Google Analytics sends cookieless measurement pings that do not store any data on your device. Google Analytics operates under consent (see Section 5C).
We use PostHog for application performance monitoring and error tracking. PostHog operates under our legitimate interest in maintaining a reliable service (see Section 5B) and uses browser localStorage, not cookies. PostHog session recording is used for error diagnosis and service improvement; all input masking is enabled to prevent capture of typed content.
For full details on cookies and similar technologies, see our cookie policy. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time via the Cookie Settings link in the site footer or through your browser settings.
8. Subprocessors
We use the following third-party services to process your data:

Where we act as a processor, these providers act as subprocessors under appropriate contractual safeguards. A current list of subprocessors is maintained on our subprocessors page.

Your data is hosted in the United States (us-east1). For users located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, this means your personal data is transferred to the United States for processing.
